[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 81094, member: 2152"] Our current laws here are very liberal, in fact possibly the most relaxed in the country. I for one will fight tooth and nail to keep prospecting as I see fit (inside the current guidelines), as I believe its an excellent balance between "mining" activities and productive prospecting. Not everyone wants to swing a detector, and the methods of extraction and refinement are modern versions of traditional methods. This diatribe that we are somehow responsible for environmental degradation is lunacy, and does not stand up to scrutiny. The swaying of public opinion is paramount here, let's be proud to be prospectors, and the modern version of our forefathers who worked under conditions which were very difficult. Blanket bans will be on the agenda unless we are vocal and are shown not to be pushovers. I will not cower or worry, I will prospect and protest. [/QUOTE]
