2011 News Updates December 23, 2011 - Advanced Geologic is please to announce that they have entered into a 6-month lease arrangement with a private party for an Exploration and Testing project on their Casino Royale #1 and #2 placer mining claims, in the western Plomosa Mining District of Western Arizona. In the Spring of 2011, Advanced Geologic performed a reconnaissance exploration and testing project and discovered a seven-acre, 25 feet thick specific sedimentary layer that contained an average 40 yards to the ounce. Percent recovery loss during testing procedures was estimated at between 10-30%, which made this deposit quite economical to mine given the right equipment. An Amended Notice of Intent for the Exploration and Testing permit was filed with the BLM in early December is is expected to be approved in early January 2012. Both parties are excited to start testing the ground in more detail. Chief Geologist Charles Watson, who discovered the deposit, said. "Advanced geologic is very pleased with their new exploration partner on this project. His choice of equipment and time table for deployment, and the richness of the deposit makes this a win-win project for both of us!" It should be a very golden year, indeed!! December 23, 2011 - Advanced Geologic is please to announce that they have entered into a 12-month lease arrangement with Bleck Resources for an Exploration and Testing project on the Belle Wash placer mining claim, which is located in the headwaters of the rich Italian Wash drainage of the central Plomosa Mining District, Western Arizona. Bleck Resources has been testing the property for the past 3 weeks and says good gold has been discovered in the placer gravels and they are pursuing a several down-slope paystreaks. Bleck Resources is currently testing an adjacent 20-acre portion of the Arizona State lands leased by Advanced Geologic. They have teamed up with Nordyke Enterprises to share equipment and financial resources to investigate the placer gravels of Belle, Italian and Apache Washes. Their accounts indicate the gold is both coarse and fine-grained, and chunky, often looking like "Grape Nuts" cereal, suggesting a close bedrock source. Bleck Resources has teamed up with noted geologist Paul Garmish, whose vast placer mining experience has already paid off on this project and has contributed to additional discoveries. Garmish and Chief Geologist Charles Watson have enjoyed numerous discussion of geology and shared many gold stories from the edge over the Arizona desert campfires and several cold and refreshing beverages. Advanced Geologic has other very good placer mining claims in Arizona. Water is cheap, beer is cold and the gold is plentiful.

The next hearing date is schedule for January 18, 2012. December 19, 2011 - One of the richest creeks in the Northern California Coast Range is Hayfork Creek. Early miners spoke of long packtrains that carried the gold to the San Fransico Mint. There were floating dredges and hundreds of miners working the stream banks. There is an active stream and multiple remnant terrace deposits left on the banks. Advanced Geologic scored big when the Blue Bird placer mining claim dropped off the active claim list and immediately filed on the open ground. This claim was held since 1906. There is plenty of virgin gravels that are still rich in gold. This is one of our best opportunities!! It is nearly year round mining and the camping is great.

July 1, 2011 - California Governor Brown vetoed specific parts of the State budget bill (SB 87), eliminating the provision that would have prohibited the Department of Fish & Game from expending any funds for the development of suction dredge regulations. Said Governor Brown, "I am deleting Provision 3, which would prohibit the Department of Fish and Game from using funds appropriated in this item for suction-dredge regulation, permitting, or other activities, except enforcement and litigation costs. This provision would prohibit the Department from completing a court-ordered Environmental Impact Report regarding the impacts of suction dredge mining on Coho salmon and other threatened or endangered species. While I am vetoing this language to ensure the Department is not in violation of the court order, I direct the Secretary of Resources to examine the program and associated policies before restarting the permit process." This action resolves some of the uncertainty about completion of the regulation writing process and compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which we had projected for completion in November of 2011. As of this moment, the Governor has not acted yet on a related budget trailer bill AB120. This bill, which is a companion attack by the same environmental extremists and a handful of Indian tribes who don't like suction dredging, would add five more years to the soon-expiring moratorium. If the Governor vetoes the language in trailer bill AB120, the nearly immediate consequences to California's economy would be positive: 4,000 miners will be back to work and 15,000 inter-related jobs will be protected, adding much needed revenues to the State's coffers. The suction dredge gold mining industry generates $23 million annually in California, and supports jobs in more than 14 sectors, including restaurants, hardware stores, gas stations and camping outfitters. They, along with the miners, are hoping for a quick and positive decision by the Governor on AB120. It is our hope that Governor Brown will allow the original moratorium to be solved with the EIR scientific findings rather than allowing anti-mining foes to keep inventing new criteria for the DFG to chase after and wasting taxpayers' money while doing so. You can check the status on this legislation here. June 29, 2011 - AGE has expanded their office to an upstairs apartment and welcomed back Christina Dunker from her maturnity leave!!

Lincoln National Forest has been exceptionally helpful and we hope for a swift approval on the the permitting. January 5, 2011 - The new year has started out swift and steady for Chief Geologist, Charles Watson and his staff at Advanced Geologic, beginning with the selling of eight claims! Within Lights Creek, which is located about 20 miles out of Greenville, in Plumas County, six claims alone have sold. Lights Creek, with its rich green forest and year round flowing water is a great opportunity for any prospector to enjoy their newest endeavor. One neighboring claim already discovered five pounds of gold, and with three claims still for sale, this could be anyone's opportunity to say "Eureka, I found it!"
