Some more SGGM DD. Someone with an RB alias may wish to post this information from the Montana BLM office on the CMKX/SGGM board:
Here's what we found out.
The mining claims were foreclosed on and sold as part of a sheriff's sale
on March 1, 2002. They are considered active because their annual
maintenance fees are being paid to BLM. That does not mean, however, that
active mining is taking place. You'll need to find out if any activity is
occurring from the Bitterroot National Forest, where the claims are
located. You may have already taken that step.
The owners of the mining claims are listed as Sammy and Fahima Samani, of
North Arlington, New Jersey. From the records we have here, it is not
possible to say if Nevada Vermiculite is involved in any way with the
claims.
I hope that helps.
There are no stupid questions. But damn, there are a lot of stupid questioners!
