IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO ALL !!!

A lot of people have been prospecting on private BHPC claims thinking they are G.P.A.A. Claims. This should clarify what claims belong to each club.

The G.P.A.A. claims in the Black Hills area are :

Migg - Mary-Ann - Rainbow - Husker

You must be a member of the G.P.A.A. to prospect on these claims.

-------------

The Private BHPC claims in the Black Hills area are :

The Garnet Area Claims - Park Placer - BF #1

You MUST be a CURRENT BHPC member

to prospect on these claims.

FAIR WARNING !

If You are not a current BHPC member and are caught prospecting on a private BHPC claim you will be arrested for mineral trespass! We have been working close with the Forrest Service, DENR, and local law enforcement to prospect according to the laws. Law enforcement is sent a monthly update of members that are allowed on the claims, if you are not on the list you will be detained and/or arrested.
