Mineral Exploration Drilling by Timberline Resources Corporation

Timberline Resources Corp. has submitted a proposal to drill seven drillholes on a set of unpatented lode mining claims on public lands managed by the Ridgecrest Field Office. The present Environmental Assessment is intended to analyze the potential impacts of that operation. These identical lands were previously drilled by another operator in 1997, after analysis and approval associated with environmental assessment CA065-NEPA97-25. The access route proposed by Timberline Resources is identical to the route formerly used & reclaimed by the former operator.  Please submit comments to Randy Porter of the Ridgecrest Field Office by or soon after August 29, 2008. Comments may be by mail, e-mail, fax or letter.
