[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 242828, member: 2976"] I just received this response to my posts regarding this issue on another forum, from a claimholder on the field..... So they are going to just cancel existing claims because some rare bush might be growing as far as half a kilometre away from the boundary of the claim!!!!! Do these inner city greenie deadheads even realize that for some people this is their livelihood and their home? That there are thousands of small claimholders in the area and that they are the lifeblood of the area and of the towns of Rubyvale and sapphire? That they supply the regional hub town of Emerald with a not-insignificant (for a small centre) amount of funding through rates? Have these people even looked to see that sapphire mining is the reason that these regional communities exist and that it is principally done by small operators with very modest equipment moving a very modest amount of dirt - not by mammoth coal mining-type operations? Do they even care? Or do they just consider small miners as some type of environmental pest to be stamped out? [/QUOTE]
