ATTENTION:  STOP  HIGHBANKING

Important Notice: No Mechanical Equipment Allowed
 

The use of mechanical equipment - including highbankers - to recover gold is strictly prohibited on all GPAA of Northern Nevada, Reno -owned or adopted claims. Even if such equipment becomes legal again, it will still not be allowed on our adopted claims.

 

Violating this rule puts us all at risk:

• Equipment (including trucks and trailers) may be confiscated

• Heavy fines may be issued

• We may lose access to these claims for all members, especially where landowners did not agree to mechanical use

 

If you are using mechanical equipment - STOP IMMEDIATELY.

 

Thanks,

President Larry and the Board​
