RE:How many years has it been,See the Jan 9, 2017 news release, and a few earlier production news releases. They were trying to generate cash from saprolite using a gravity-only method that was expected to recover about 30% of the gold but it never worked out. I could never figure out whether they were not permitted to use cyanide, or whether that was a method that required a bigger cap-ex. No doubt someone with better relevant education and memory can fill us in, please.
I like the jurisdiction, the (in principle) economic saprolite, as well as Fier's track-record. Also, the discoveries keep coming.
I'd buy more if I had some cash.
