Dave Rogers (503) 582-2437 Washington, D.C. 20003 Robert Sanregret (714) 731-1335 WILL CONGRESS APPROVE THE GREATEST GOLD HEIST IN HISTORY? Washington, DC "Instead of voting on the California Desert `Protection' Act Congress should be convening a criminal investigation," said Don Fife today. Fife, Chairman of the National Association of Mining Districts, commented "that several billion dollars in gold and huge clandestine real estate schemes may be the motivating factors behind the Feinstein desert bill (S. 21)." Fife stated that "the California Gold Heist is potentially a greater scandal than Teapot Dome." According to Fife, the Gold Heist involves not only corrupt politicians and high government officials, but also "environmental racketeering." If the desert bill is passed, a complex series of land exchanges will take place that will eventually hand over the some of the richest gold deposits in the world to private corporations. According to a top Congressional aide, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D- Calif.), Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), and Rep. Bruce Vento (D.- Minn.), the most active promoters of the Act, are fully knowledgeable of the existence of the gold deposits. The Congressional aide added that "this is the reason behind the desert bill." The desert bill will seize over 8 million acres in the California desert and adjoining national forests and turn them into 74 new "wilderness areas" and 3 new "national parks." It will grant Catellus Corp. and other landowners choice government land in exchange for land they own in the newly designated parks and wilderness areas. According to high ranking officials from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the BLM does not have land to give to the landowners. Therefore, the only land available for trade will be land from decommissioned military bases. One of the bases will be the Chocolate Mountains gunnery range. Unbeknownst to the public, inside this gunnery range is what may turn out to be one of the world's richest gold rift zones. Mining engineers and geologists estimate that the gold contained in this rift zone is worth minimally several billion dollars to perhaps as much as $100 billion. These are surface gold deposits which are more profitable to mine than the one-mile deep gold deposits of South Africa. California Senator Dianne Feinstein, who has staked her political career on the passage of the desert bill, used language in the original bill that specifically stated that Catellus Corporation should receive preferential treatment in the disbursement of available government properties. Catellus owns over 400,000 acres of nearly worthless land in the Mojave Desert. These lands were obtained by Santa Fe Pacific and its predecessor railroad companies as part of the "checker-board" railroad lands awarded for the building of the transcontinental railroads. Santa Fe transferred these lands, which were for sale for over 100 years, to its subsidiary, Catellus Corp. In addition to controlling Catellus, Santa Fe owns and operates the Mesquite gold mine, located on the Chocolate Mountains rift zone. The Mesquite mine is one of the top 10 mines in the United States and has some of the most profitable gold deposits of any mine in the world. On the rift to the south of the Mesquite mine are several major gold mines, including Picacho Peak and the American Girl. To the North is the Chocolate Mountains gunnery range. The most interesting aspect of this issue is that Mesquite's open pit gold mine terminates at the fence that borders the gunnery range. Despite the fact that the gold ore body continues past the fence, the Mesquite mine has to stop because the gunnery range is off-limits. According to mining engineers who worked at the Mesquite mine, the main gold ore body extends North of the fence, inside the gunnery range. As one engineer said, "the real gusto is past the wire (fence)." The engineers maintain that in 1981 and 1982 Consolidated Gold Fields, which owned the mine at the time, secretly drilled into the gunnery range to determine the grade of the ore body. The samples proved to be of very high quality. According to these engineers, beginning in the mid-1980's, military helicopters brought high ranking military officers, Congressmen and Senators to the area to examine these huge gold deposits. Reportedly Bruce Vento (D-Minn.) was one of the Congressmen who received the tour. The purpose of these tours, the engineers note, was to come up with a way to hand these gold deposits to Gold Fields. At the time, however, there was no legal mechanism to transfer this land to Gold Fields without alerting the public to the existence of this gold, thus forcing an open public appraisal. About this time, at the urging of the Sierra Club, former Senator Alan Cranston introduced the desert bill into Congress. In 1993, Santa Fe traded all of its coal mines for several Consolidated Gold Fields mines, including the Mesquite mine. According to Fife, "This transaction effectively concealed a sales price that could have drawn attention to the real value of the Mesquite mine and the riches north of the pit wall in the gunnery range." Santa Fe has enormous political clout in California and in Washington. In addition to having Senator Dianne Feinstein as their champion in Washington, former California Governor George Deukmejian is one of the company's directors. Under these circumstances, S-21 is the perfect vehicle to achieve this land exchange. If Catellus receives land from the Chocolate Mountains gunnery range, then Santa Fe would control the exclusive rights to mine the gold trend for nearly 50 miles to the north. This would bypass any possibility of open appraisal of the gold deposits, or even knowledge by the public of this entire affair. Since the evidence of this conspiracy emerged, rumors started circulating in Congress that the Chocolate Mountains gunnery range could not be decommissioned because there was too much live ordnance on the ground. In fact, millions of surrounding acres were in a similar condition after General George Patton and others trained their entire armies there between 1942 and 1945. By 1947 the entire region was made safe for civilian use. Furthermore, military ordnance specialists state that the decommissioning of Chocolate Mountains will be quite easy in comparison to the clearing of mine fields in Kuwait and Kampuchea. Santa Fe may obtain access to the gold even before the Chocolate Mountains gunnery range is decommissioned. A careful reading of the bill suggests that the map of the gunnery range was altered in July 1993 to exclude a rectangular parcel on the south end of the gunnery range, along the north rim of the open pit of the Mesquite gold mine. This land includes the gold deposits which may only be accessed through the private holdings of the Mesquite mine. Language in the bill may open this area to mineral entry the day S-21 is signed into law! Under such circumstances Santa Fe would be in an exceedingly favorable position to acquire any gold reserves north of the fence by staking mineral claims.
