Waldo Mining District

WHOWHO WE ARE . . .

Located in SW Oregon Territory and established in April 1852, the Waldo Mining District was the first mining district established in Oregon and is one of the oldest mining districts in the Western United States.  Since 1852, the Waldo Mining District has taken an active role in preserving the tradition of mining in Southwest Oregon and has actively been a leader in protecting the rights of miners in the State of Oregon and beyond.

We want to thank everyone that participated in this series of drawings.  With your generous help, we will be able to continue our fight against the overly restrictive and illegal Oregon DEQ 700PM Instream Mining Permit; and continue to intervene in the challenges to the permit by the environmental orgs.

 

THANK YOU !

 

MMMMM

 

UPDATE - MARCH 27, 2012:  As you can see, we are still experiencing technical difficulties with the Waldo website.  Actually, the difficulties are not so much "technical" as they are "ignorance" driven.... that is, I do not know what I am doing, and feel lucky I managed to post the list of winners in the drawing!

Now that the drawing is over, I hope to have more time to spend working on the website, hopefully I will figure out how to bring back all our archives, plus information regarding the current litigation over the 700PM permit......  but don't hold your breath!
