I see hazeltine gave sharon wonderful today's instructions to try and scroll negative information off the screen. Won't work:
Rod-re your post on SGGM-I don't name sources because they get deluged with hysterical phone calls from the sheep. However, my DEQ source was quite specific as to the status of the "mine" and its upcoming reclaimation by the DEQ/US Forrest Service.
As far as the claim itself, the BLM in Billings sent me the following e-mail:
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.
Samani was affiliated with the Stansbury Holdings promotion of this "mine," not Nevada Vermiculite LLC.
Here are the claim coordinates:
sections 19,21,24, T6N, R18W and 19W
I also sent todays PR to my DEQ contact with a request for comment. And of course all my information is going to my SEC contact.
There are no stupid questions. But damn, there are a lot of stupid questioners!
