Link Updates

Matters unrelated to mining have prevented me from posting anything lately, but I felt the blog was overdue for link maintenance, so here is a list of changes to the items in the right-hand sidebar:

Discussion Forums

The link to Mike Higbee's Prospectors Cache has been removed because, as best as I can tell, the forum is no longer available.

Clubs and Organizations

North American Prospectors Association has a new address.

The link to Northwest Mineral Prospectors Club, Inc. has been removed as the site seems to be no longer active.

The link to Our Backyard has been deleted as the site appears no longer active.

Resources for Prospectors

USFS Geodata Clearinghouse has a new address.

Atlas of Canada Topographic Maps has a new address and format.

Calgary Mountain Club has a new address.

If any readers know of new links to the removed sites, broken links, or sites not listed in the sidebar that may be of interest to the small-scale mining community, please feel free to contact me via comments to this post and I will undertake to rectify the situation as needed.
