As I am retired and have very limited funds. I think that a lot of placer miners are in the same position. I would not be able to pay these high fees and therefore have to relinquish my claims. If something more reasonable could be worked out I think it would be more beneficial to all

Perhaps there is some confusion. Claim holders would not have to pay the NOW fee if they are not going to be submitting a Notice of Work (NOW) which is needed if you are going to use machinery such as excavators or drilling rigs etc etc. Hand shoveling into a highbanker is NOT needed for a NOW.
