It can't be very cheap.

Depends on who is doing it. That Linda Marie dude fills his holes after every dig. So cost is diesel and time. He rents a backhoe for a month at a time.

They require a reclamation bond on claims I understand. $150,000 is the common number I see and hear. Bonds usually cost 10%. $15k per year. Add that to your cost of producing the stones. How many pounds will be mined?

If BLM does it? That is open to the whim of the BLM boss I suppose.

Hoping to hear from others myself.

All of it. Every single penny they confiscate is used against us one way or another.

Yeah, we had a lot of mines on BLM land around our ranch in Commiefornia. There was a huge push by the government to get the miners out so not only were bonds high but the miners were constantly harassed about camping or living on their properties while mining. Can't cost as much as they claim for the reclamation work because BLM was constantly filling in mine tunnels in back of our place. Just a day or two work with a big bulldozer, maybe a few thousand bucks. Nothing like 100K. BLM is definitely no friend of the miner....Mel

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
