Rye Patch Gold Corp (RPM.V), a company focused on exploring well-known mineral trends in Nevada, is flat again this afternoon. Its shares opened at 77 cents (compared to a previous close of 71 cents) and went on to hit a new year high of 84 cents before succuming to some selling pressure and diving to a day low of 66 cents before midday. From there it managed to get back up to 75 cents but it has been knocked back again inside the last 15 minutes.
Rye Patch Gold has filed a lawsuit against Coeur Rochester, Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation.
According to a company statement, the lawsuit is based on claims owned by Rye Patch Gold US in Pershing County, Nevada. On August 31, 2011, CRI failed to pay the federal annual mining claim maintenance fees for unpatented mining claims which formerly were part of the Coeur Rochester Mine in Pershing County. Under U.S. federal law CRI's failure to pay the annual mining claim maintenance fees caused the CRI mining claims to be forfeited and void. As a result of CRI's failure to pay the fees, on August 31, 2011, the federal public lands were available to locate mining claims and any United States citizen or company could enter the public lands and locate unpatented mining claims.
CRI has filed a separate lawsuit in the Sixth Judicial District Court in Pershing County, Nevada. CRI asserts claims for relief that its junior mining claims are superior to the senior mining claims of Rye Patch Gold US.
