The board members of PLP are committed to seeing suction gold dredging reinstated in California and Judge Gilbert Ochoa is already on the record stating he will rule in favor of the miners on the federal preemption argument. Judge Ochoa is supposed to issue the ruling within the next few days.
In layman's terms, federal mining law preempts state law. The State of California cannot ban the only economical method of gold recovery -- suction gold dredging -- on federal mining claims, and the judge agrees on this point.
PLP is running critically low on funds to pay their attorneys and it would be a travesty to abandon the case when we are so close to a victory!
