Hardrock Mining: Re-think; Reform - The Greater Yellowstone Region

As outdoor recreation enthusiasts, we all need metal; from our cars to our carbiners, and rifles to refrigerators we all use metal. The problem lies with 19th century values and policy guiding 21st century high tech mining technology. In the Greater Yellowstone Area there are now more than 13,000 hard rock mining claims, half of which were staked in the last 5 years. The laws adopted in 1872 to govern prospecting with a pick and shovel and to help settle the West before the invention of the light bulb are the same laws in use today. These outdated laws place no regard for the new values and economic future of the west.
