"Frankly, it seems to me that right now what is the most jeopardizing issue if I was in the mining industry is not knowing what's going to happen with respect to the 1872 Mining Law reform."

"There is no question that the time has come to modernize this statute and I support the enactment of comprehensive reforms to the Mining Law."

"We've got to strike the right balance between imposing a royalty and maintaining a role for mining in our economic recovery."

"We always know it is about the balance."
