Hi John,

Young ones have been raised for years being told mining is bad. Now we have conditions that once would have led to young people hitting the hills. Now they wait for government to help them out.

It also is just getting harder to go out and get gold with all the rules and regulations. Once all you needed was a will to work. Now you need to be a lawyer.

We are seeing a mini gold rush in Alaska since we still have an interest in resource development up here. But even in Alaska I can see it fast getting shut down. The paperwork they want to "head for the hills" is getting oppressive to the point of making prospecting illegal by way of over-regulation. It is not hard to imagine that we are the last generation of small miners and prospectors.
