an update! finally, page-2

you missed the mainpoint:: 300,000 higher grade shallow resource for potential 3rd party treatment. What this means: they can hire a crew[ which are now a dime a dozen] dig shallow pits[ costs of oil is quite reasonable now] and truck to a nearby plant for treatment. Even if their costs are $800/ ounce- and they should be much much less- that leaves $4-$500/ ounce profit. $400x 300,000
ounces=a whopping amount of cash. There are no start up costs to do this, and no capital investment either. pretty shrewd........
