ACTION ALERT 

07/15/2019 

TO: GPAA/LDMA Members 
 
FROM:  Kevin Hoagland Executive Director of Development  

Members, we have an emergency closure of the ADKINSON-AUPROSPECTORS Alabama lease due to storm damage that came through the area over the weekend of 7/12-14/2019.  

As the GPAA continues to grow and add even more exclusive claims and properties for our members to enjoy, we’d like to add a little “flash” in the pan so to speak and have created a little friendly competition for all fellow members to partake in!
