Dates of Interest/Public Notices
Now is the time to participate in the legislative and regulatory pathways and guide our mining future. And, the "social media" is not the pathway for citizen and stakeholder engagement. This example, "Faecesbook", in the mythical land of "Suckersburg", is little more than >80% Bots, with some scammers thrown in, all in a data-collection scheme coupled with arbitrary and capricious censorship. The (l)users are The Product, and they willingly let this creeps spyware onto their devices. We will not link any Faecesbook, twitterx, tiktok, "AI Slop", or other garbage, and instead will provide open source alternatives. Free Your Mind.
Coming Up: With the record high gold prices, how can You Spot the Scammers? AND, a new book/GIS mapping of sites of camps, mines, prospects, caches, and more that I have found.
