A recent spending bill passed by the US House has all the likelyhood of being a real estate windfall under the guise of mining claims. "Under the House bill passed Friday, for the first time in the history of the 133-year-old mining law individuals or companies can file and expand claims even if the land at the heart of a claim has already been stripped of its minerals or could never support a profitable mine. The measure would also lift an 11-year moratorium on the passing of claims into full ownership." NYTimes
