Discovery's Hit Series "Bering Sea Gold" Returns for New Season with Crews Searching for Gold on New Ground<br />
<br />
The new season premieres Wednesday, January 18 at 10:00/9:00c on the cable channel."<br><br><a style="font-size:13px" href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pengoopmcjnbflcjbmoeodbmoflcgjlk">'via Blog this'</a><br />
<br />
<br />
This season, Shawn Pomrenke struggles to hold together his family's flourishing mining empire. Staking their future on 10,000 acres of property thought to contain a quarter-billion dollars in gold, closing the deal requires a $3 million down payment. To finance the transaction, Shawn returns to the Bluff, a remote location 100 miles east of Nome. With the family's future and his reputation on the line, Shawn needs a big payout. Anything less and the entire empire could come tumbling down.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Zeke Tenhoff continues his alliance with former flame Emily Riedel. The pair heads 26 miles off shore to Sledge Island, a mysterious, deserted, volcanic formation fabled to have mounds of gold in its unexplored waters. If the duo can make it across the open ocean in their tiny dredge and manage to find gold, they'll be at the top of Nome's new gold game.<br />
<br />
After five years of scheming and scamming, most of Nome harbors a severe distrust of the Kelly family, making it difficult for them to get access to good mining ground. This season, Kris has been elevated to captain, with the hope of turning things around, pulling his family's finances - and reputation - out of the gutter. This summer, he'll make sure everything works, including his dad and brother but with bridges burned, options are running out for the Kellys. If Kris can't learn to overcome the odds by legitimate means, it could sink his mining ambitions for good.<br />
<br />
Nome newcomer - George Young -hopes to create his own gold mining enterprise and get out from under his older brother's shadow. An avid outdoors-man, diver, sport shooter, skier and passionate adventurer, George is clearly undeterred by the pick-up truck accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. In debt from buying and outfitting the dredge, he sets his sights high from deep in the hole. Like so many before him, George thinks he has what it takes to hit a golden payday. He just hopes that unlike all those others, he's right.<br />

LOS ANGELES — The <a href="http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/regulations/mining_claims.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2677b9; text-decoration: none;">General Mining Law of 1872</a> promised Americans who went west that whatever gold or other precious minerals they found would be theirs for the keeping — the main driver of the California Gold Rush that fueled the nation’s great westward expansion.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">
Almost 150 years later, gold miners in the west, who now prospect mostly as a hobby, are invoking the same law to sue states over moratoriums on the use of suction dredge mining equipment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">
Driven by environmental concerns that these motorized vacuums disrupt salmon habitat and affect water quality,<a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/specialpermits/suctiondredge/existingpermitfaqs.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2677b9; text-decoration: none;"> California banned the practice</a> in 2009. <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/dsl/Pages/SB%20838%20Study%20Group.aspx" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2677b9; text-decoration: none;">Oregon will do the same</a> starting Jan. 1, 2016.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">
Miners are suing both states, arguing that their moratoriums on suction dredges to sift through gravel for specks of gold violate the federal mining law.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">
“It alleges that the state lacks power to prohibit mining on federal lands,” said James Buchal, a Portland, Oregon, lawyer who represents a consortium of gold miners in the lawsuits.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">
Miners scored a victory in California earlier this year when lower courts ruled in their favor, sending the case to the state Supreme Court, which has agreed to hear it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">May 5, 2015 - In 2009, California enacted a statutory moratorium on suction dredge mining throughout the state. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) reminds suction dredge miners the moratorium for use of motorized suction dredge equipment remains in effect. In addition, possession of any such equipment within 100 yards of any river stream or lake also remains unlawful.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">Suction dredge mining is a method for vacuuming gravel from rivers, streams or lakes to sort through the sediment produced, usually through a sluice box, to recover gold or other precious metal.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">Beginning in 2005 and thereafter with the moratorium taking effect in 2009, several lawsuits were filed to challenge the moratorium and the updated suction dredge regulation adopted by CDFW in 2012. Legal challenges to the regulations and the moratorium are in progress in both the San Bernardino County Superior Court and the California Supreme Court. Unless directed otherwise by the courts through a final order and consistent with CDFW obligations under the California Constitution, wildlife officers will continue to enforce the current prohibition on suction dredge mining in California.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">Currently there is some misleading information provided on unofficial Internet websites suggesting the legal matters are resolved, the moratorium is no longer in effect, and miners may lawfully mine using motorized suction dredge equipment in California. This information is inaccurate. CDFW is concerned that this misinformation may lead some miners to return to operating suction dredges where they will be at risk of citation or arrest and possible forfeiture of their equipment.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">When the legal procedures conclude, CDFW will notify the public of the final outcome and changes to the law, if any.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">More information can be found at </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;"><a href="http://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Licensing/Suction-Dredge-Permits" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.498039); -webkit-transition: color 0.2s ease-out; color: black; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease-out;" target="_blank">http://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Licensing/Suction-Dredge-Permits</a></strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">.</span></div>

In August 2013, law enforcement agents -- wearing bulletproof vests, waders and side arms -- hopped on all-terrain vehicles and aircraft for a journey into the Alaskan wilderness.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.0340003967285px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The team from U.S. EPA, the Bureau of Land Management and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation was on the lookout for Clean Water Act violations at a small gold-mining outpost near the Canadian border, not far from Chicken, Alaska -- population seven in the 2010 census.</div>

Allegations of wrongdoing in the wake of the raid soon rained on the agencies, particularly EPA. Republicans saw the enforcement as emblematic of an administration that keeps sticking its nose where it doesn't belong. And Alaskans saw it as another example of the federal government's heavy hand.</div>

Some media reports, painting the probe as an EPA-led assault with storm troopers in full-on SWAT gear, soon took hold. Now, almost two years later, some lawmakers remain angry enough to threaten stripping the agency of its firearms.</div>

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gold prices have now fallen below the cost to mine it for some companies. What does this mean? It means supplies will start to shrink and the price by all normal valuations will go up.

The Guardian and Telegraph report that gold and silver prices are “fixed” in the same way as interest rates and derivatives – in daily conference calls by the powers-that-be.<br />

Long-time trader Andrew Maguire told told King World News this week that 2 JP Morgan whistleblowers have handed over evidence of gold and silver manipulation by their bank:"<br />

And they are right. The deflation at that time and the banking crisis it precipitated was an entirely internal matter for the U.S.A. Today quantitative easing has done the same job inside nations. In the Eurozone similar policies have been followed attempting to ensure neither its member nations nor its banking systems collapse under its own credit crunch. The electronic printing press has expanded the money supply the same way that the devaluation of the dollar against gold did then. Critically, confidence in the euro or the dollar has not collapsed as badly as it did in 1933-35 and the young euro has survived well too.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Today the reasons for the confiscation of gold will be very different. Just dwell for a moment on why the concept of China and its citizens investing in gold so heavily. The Chinese support the state more so than any other nation we know of. We would expect such a confiscation there to be very effective in getting gold out of the people’s hands and into ‘official’ reserves. So why would a nation want gold for non-internal uses?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">”... The key to today’s money value remains confidence. If the loss of confidence today spread to the U.S. dollar or even the Treasury market, then a new crisis would rupture, not just the U.S. monetary system but also the global monetary system.</span></p><div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Why</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Is that likely in the future? Well, why is China buying gold even more than India?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">One of the lessons ‘the powers that be’ have learned is that it is a mistake to wait for a crisis to unfold before they act. For instance, some gold dealers believe that gold will only be confiscated once the dollar has collapse (as confidence collapsed in 1933). But there is no Federal government governing the world. Different nations in the global monetary system have to address a global currency crisis that targets individual national currencies in a<i>global context</i>. So an Indian Rupee will not find any nation or monetary body resolving their international currency credibility. They will have to convince the nations of the world that their currency does have the necessary “good assets” to retain their own currency credibility. As the OMFIF report pointed out, gold will serve a <i>pivotal role</i> in this regard....</span></p></div><div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; "><i style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In Part II we will look at when gold confiscation is likely to happen as well as just how large a force the emerging world will become in terms of global wealth and its presence in the global gold market.</i></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; "><i style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Part III looks at what to expect in this structurally changing global monetary environment and just what you can do about keeping your gold then.</i></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Julian Phillips is the founder of<a href="http://www.goldforecaster.com/" style="text-decoration: none; ">www.GoldForecaster.com</a><span lang="EN-US"> and</span><span class="Hyperlink1"><a href="http://www.silverforecaster.com/" style="text-decoration: none; ">www.SilverForecaster.com</a></span></span></p></div><div>Read more. <span style="font-family: '.HelveticaNeueUI'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; white-space: nowrap; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">http://www.mineweb.com/mineweb/content/en/mineweb-independent-viewpoint?oid=201298&sn=Detail</span></div>Harriganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17619791782904573105noreply@blogger.com0
