Expansion of Gold Exploration in the PanamintsPosted by HeapLeach This on October 21, 2002 at 20:05:09:
Since The California Desert Protection Act of 1991 specifically excluded certain proposed wilderness areas in the Western Panamints so as to allow for future mineral exploration and development - principally by Canyon Resources Corp., operators of the Briggs Mine; and in spite of the BLMs Enviornmental Assessment currently being commented upon, the permit to further explore for gold is a done deal. According to Canyon Resources' website, the BLM has showered that company with acclamation for their commitment to the enviornment. If money talks, gold screams!
