Well, we Oregonia's put the fixing in the big mining outfits who wanted to leave cyanide laying around about 10 years ago, and were successful in preventing them, through our exisiting laws on the books from riping up more surface gold occurances. However, just one problem with pursuing that angle...the cynidation process has been replaced with other leaching chemicals, so if environmentalists shut down cyanide, another leaching process pops up in its place. BUT you want to know what the craziest part about the mining company greed that Ken Benes' is accurately portraying to this thread all the time? IT only COSTS approximately U$5-8 per TROY OZ to remediate all that cyanide crap, which I would think mining outfits would be only too happy to pay in order to get their hands on the gold they claim they want so desparately. Comments?

Here is an even better idea. How about if the miners close down any operations that are not profitable, and better yet, what if they defer introducing new production. If the oil producers can limit production why is it that gold producers cannot do the same as does any other producer of commodities. Okay, so the oil producers are an illegal cartel. Lets use farmers. When corn is grown at a loss, the farmers remove acreage from planting. This is not a novel approach, the only ones that do not get it are the gold producers, who will blame anyone but themselves for their plight. The biggest laugh, so they can continue to dig holes they are planning to sell gold over the net. I got a perfect name for their site, amazon.smucks. Ken
