I am hearing part of the Uranium One land was in Oregon very close to the Bundy land. Some are wondering if that had something to do with the standoff.
Very possible there is a plethora of minerals inthe are everything from shale oil, gold, silver, uranium to who knows what in the region.Landlowners stand to make buko bucks if the right mineral is found,another region why the govt. is trying to nationalize as much as possible. Also, lots of secret stuff going on inthe area along with water rights issues.
