Kulongoski wants to follow suit Well, you knew it had to happen sometime, right?? The liberals are pushing and Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski is considering legislation to remove from mineral withdrawl up to one million acres of southern Oregon mining grounds. The aim is to deter California miners from moving to Oregon to operate their dredges next season, following California's moratorium on dredging in the entire state in August. This means that no new claims will be allowed on much of Oregon's "gold country".

'golden' opportunity
09/18/09
How many times have you had several teeny, tiny specks of gold left after you finished a panful of material and just tossed them out with the rest of the 'junk'? After all, those microscopic pieces aren't really worth the trouble, right?
You might just change your mind after reading the following article.
We here at OGA are constantly doing research across the globe, via the internet, in an attempt to bring you all things gold.
This is yet another piece of information that will help you get the most out of your prospecting trips.
Micron gold is everywhere. It is also one of the hardest types of gold to process to really be worth the effort to be profitable. However, it really isn't all that difficult to purchase a mini-lab (or get plans and build your own) in order to process micron gold.
Actually, micron gold can pay as much as, or more than, all those "big" chunks we all are looking for...combined.
Ok, enough babbling. Click on the link below to read the full article - who knows...you might just learn something valuable!
Bad Miners are Bad News
09/16/09
It is quite unfortunate when one of our own oversteps the line and does something that gives our adversaries even more ammunition against us. We just found a story that was published in the Oregonian that, if true, is really something else. We here at OGA, and all the miners with whom we associate, work very hard to follow the rules and keep our hobby/occupation clean so as not to attract negative attention to ourselves and our activities. Unfortunately, there are those who simply don't. Click on the link below to read the whole story. Pay particular attention to some of the responses this article illicited from the liberal left. It certainly doesn't take much to stir them into a 'hanging party'. Please people, we all need to keep our noses clean and take care of our own. We can do a thousand good things only to be undone by the (alleged) acts of another.

California Dredge Ban The latest news on who was behind it.
"Small-scale miners still drawn to California to chase dreams of striking it rich will have to find their gold nuggets the old-fashioned way for a while, with shovels and pans. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill Thursday in Sacramento calling an immediate moratorium throughout the state on suction dredge mining until..." Click here for the full story
Oregon Gold Adventures has a shiny new gold prospecting forum! That's right, now you can post your wants, needs, "for sale" items, opinions and much more. Your OGA team had a good time putting it together and really hopes you have a good time with it.
So far the response has been a bit slow. We really hope you can find a minute or two to check it out and perhaps post a thread. After all, it's all right there just for you!
It's a very inclusive gold prospecting forum with something for most everyone. If you find that you know of a topic or category we should add please use the "Contact Us" link at the top of the page to let us know! Better yet, just post your suggestion right in the forum. There's a "suggestion box" category built just for that kind of thing. Thanks in advance for checking it out. Your OGA team hopes you have a great time with it. The link below will take you there...
Bad news one and all!! All gold dredging halted! Well, it's a sad day for all of us today. The libs in California finally convinced the "all knowing" Governor to do something utterly ridiculous with no proof to back it up! Your mighty tax dollars at work. There is now an immediate BAN on ALL dredging of ANY KIND in the ENTIRE state of California, pending further studies on the salmon population.
Don't think this only affects the poor California miners. Now that the radical left has gotten a foothold and set a precedent there's no end to who and where they will attack next! NOTICE
Until further notice, any and all donations taken in by this and/or our sister site, OregonGoldHunter.com (no "s"), will be forwarded to the "New 49'ers" legal fund to try and save us from further oppression from the liberal hypocrites.

Below is a link to an article that ran in the Central Valley Business Times. Read and be inspired with the rest of us to take immediate action!
Click here to read the full story...It's not only happening to us! Gold miners from around the world seem to also be under political attack.
While we're all focused on overcoming the unrealistic liberal mindset trying to shut us down through unrealistic ideology, miners in other countries have a similar fight on their hands.
