Anyone hear anything about this? Don’t hold too many juniors to the deference of the majors. U.S. Gold has sagged markedly of late, and some of this is due to fears over a new mining bill that passed the U.S. House. If this bill makes it through the Senate, it will significantly increase mining royalties in the industry. Perhaps more costly, it will severely stiffen environmental requirements. These house bills on mining have all gone down to defeat in the recent past; but with a new Democratic Congress, the threat is heightened.
