ALL of the Sage Hen claims in Nevada that WSRC says SSMG purchased from the owners are CLOSED. The above link connects to the current public record of the Bureau of Land Management-BLM. In the list of claims on the BLM site there are 39 claims total for the state by the name of Sage Hen #xxx that are placer claims. That means anyone can reopen them by filing a new claim. No one presently owns them or has lease rights to them.
Is this legit for WSRC and SSMG to do? Logically, the answer is no.
WSRC claims (pun intended) to have a 70% stake in SSMG which would give them access to these claims for company purposes. According to this information SSMG bought claims that are CLOSED and not owned by anyone. In other words the PR is not truthful. All BS, imo.
This information is fresh as of today. I think WSRC is lying in their PR. The video they published should have been for the ACTIVE claims they have legitimate access to. Where did they film the video location? On CLOSED mining claims?
I leave this information here for your indigestion. I am not happy with this discovery. Neither should you be.
P.S. I setup an account with the BLM mine and research locator to get this information. You have to do the same.
To answer two of your questions, the video was clearly not filmed by the company or SSMG, and was not on their claims, which are not active, and, more importantly, have not been permitted (which they admitted)
Adding this from my previous sticky, as it remains relevant and pertinent.
