[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1809887, member: 16453"] We've got miners sniffing around at the moment. We have tin, tungsten, molybdomin and apparently there is some litium as well along with kaolin that they are interested in. They are off to the stock exchange at the moment trying to raise some money to exploit it. I don't have any rights to the minerals under my ground, the most I can hope for is some compensation for loss of production and maybe get some roads built. One of the big attractions they see with my place is the possibility of reworking the big sand dumps from previous tin mining with more modern centrifugal seperators as this would give them some immediate cash flow at little expense which is attractive to investors. The cheaky buggars put a photo of my big pond in one of their brochures saying it was the mines water supply. I just wish they would go away, I make it as difficult as possible for them, last week I sent them on a 350km round trip to get a certificate from a qualified person to wash down their vehicle before they entered. They had an independant geologist with them to do a report so I'm not sure what his hourly rate would have been. They are starting to get the idea we don't want them here but they have thick hides.
