Swooping in like vultures to Bears Ears National Monument! Small scale miners ran to put in mining claims immediately – most focused upon uranium. An educated guess? They are going to sell their claims to the highest paying big corporation they can. Is Bears Ears headed into -“Extraction for Exploitation?” Another reason to keep the uranium mining issue top of mind – WE COULD BE NEXT!

Will you join in the fight to Protect the Chama Watershed and the Carson National Forest? Gamma Resources applied for a permit early in 2026 for Uranium "Exploration". The request was sent back because it didn't address certain issues. They no doubt will re-apply, and we need to be ready. Sign the petition on this website www.protectriochama.org
And to find out where they are targeting - watch the 7 minute video by NM Wild - first in comments section.
