Currently they're working 'diligently' in Congress to revise the mining rights act. In it's original state, it basically allows small prospectors to go anywhere with a car; which hampers all the bullshit 'no go zones' now.....

So, the newer proposals are where you never get 'mining rights', but instead, and at best, a 'lease'. They're also proposing to tax the amount of literal dirt that's needed to be moved, to access the minerals.

Open Command, and Control. You will become a reactionary serf; don't jump, unless we say to, and when we do, only on one foot!!!!!
