[QUOTE="Goldtalk Leonora, post: 548504, member: 5638"] I apologise in advance if I'm hijacking the thread.....Stayer I really do get your point of view....but the price rise was the first one ever for the permit and can you tell me of any/many things that do not go up in price? Also, departments have been moving towards 'cost recovery' for a long time...tenement holders cop it as well. What it means really is that people using 40E's need to/will change their approach. Instead of taking out many 40E's, they will need to actually do some research and be selective about what areas they target. Imagine that!! Another point is that Au price has soared to the point where the permit costs say 1.5g of gold....your an experienced prospector obviously......if people can't find a couple of grams of gold then they need to have a look at things. I am not a rich man...far from it...but I think that 90bucks for 2 and a half months and up to three people to go 'legally' prospecting on someones tenement and get to keep what you find is an absolute fricken bargain. On the other side, because of the attitude/behaviour of prospectors I seriously doubt that 40E's will be around forever. Pressure is mounting on DMIRS to stop them altogether and unfortunately I think that at some point they will need to act further....perhaps the price rise was meant as a warning shot across the bow?? I have heard the argument a lot about the price rise 'forcing' people into illegal mining...no, I do not accept that. It may give some people an excuse they were looking for to do the wrong thing and sorry...but that just makes them thieves. [/QUOTE]
