If your in the Small Scale Mining Community, You have probably heard of the Rinehart Court
Battle Currently going on. The PLP (Public Lands for the People), AMRA
(American Mining Rights Association) the
New 49'rs, and Western Mining Alliance, have been hard at work fighting our
overreaching Government, both on the State and Local side, as well as with the
Federal Side. PLP has been hard at if for years protecting your rights, along
with several other mining associations, all contributing to the legal costs.
Now with the Third Appellate District of California, agreeing to consider the
federal preemption argument in the Brandon Rinehart case. This is a VERY important case for Small Scale
Miners, especially with Dredgers. A win
for this case could get dredgers back in the water as early as next season, as
well as setting precedent for other states, not only in legal theories, but
also what we are up against in the State of California, and with anti-mining
activists. This federal preemption
battle is perhaps the most legal challenge that has ever been mounted on behalf
of small-scale miners.
