[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 595477, member: 10304"] When one looks at the Forestry maps with the exploration overlays it is clear that many of the areas under license are only accessible to the intrepid by foot, and virtually impossible to get exploration drill rigs, or what ever they use, into without doing extensive damage. These licenses smack of the Big Boys selfishly taking control without any concept of exploration feasibility, this is tough country and there are plenty of areas that even the old time loggers were unable to access let alone remove timber from. Yes there is a lot of gold through the area and even better stories from the old loggers, who always carried a pan. The area is riddled with mines and getting to them leaves one amazed at the tenacity of the old timers. So these licenses sit, shutting us out, but knowing the area I don't believe many of them will ever be explored, let alone mined without devastating the beauty of this wilderness. I know nothing about these licenses and their governing conditions, but I firmly believe any exploration license in this sort of country, should have a time frame to complete the exploration and move to the next stage, say 1 year, then this blanketing may stop. Get in, get it done or get out! [/QUOTE]
