Blowing in the wind 2.0There was NO mine operations for 120 years. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY F*ING Years.
Many entities in the intervening years, particularly during silver's hey days in the 1970-80's, came and drilled and kicked the tires. BUT nobody ever proceded with his POS. NOT until our guys showed up.
The mine operated from 1880-94 until silver subsidies provided via the Sherman Silver act of the US congress were withdrawn. That brought the Revenue mine, and a lot of others, to a close.
Short those subsidies THERE NEVER HAS BEEN MARKET BASED MINING AT THE REVENUE-VIRGIIUS MINE.
