EC, you'll get no argument from me re: staked public property mining in the state of WA, but you said ORegon and happily, we are more civilized here in Oregon than the nutcases running things in Washington State. Before you make blanket statements about what's NOT going on in Oregon with mining, first check with an Oregon miner who is in CURRENTLY in the mining biz, ok? We pride ourselves here in Oregon about not being Washingtonians :)
High cost ops are mothballed here, true, but you made a blanket statement that simply is NOT supported by fact, when you included Oregon.
Otherwise, carry on, sally forth, tally ho, cheers!
