Heads up! Just saw a TV channel news item on the uranium mines ( abandoned) in the Sierra Ancha. Seems a new Nuclear Power Plant is on the drawing board and of course needs uranium. It mentioned the company that had bought up a bunch of the claims stated that they had no plans to open any of them, then coyly mentioned depends on the price of uranium. Having a news piece on this makes me think that plans to start mining are in the works and this is a trial balloon to see if any public interest, push back. The news piece centered on the possible drinking water contamination with Roosevelt lake so close. Let the political BS games and spin begin.
For the record although I enjoy old mines not enamored of mining in the beautiful Sierra Ancha.

Tonto NF has been doing their best to make sure it's not beautiful anymore by letting it burn. Maybe that's part of the plan.
