RE:Re, BLOOD BATHMy thought is that you are a dreamer! The 'equipment' has not been upgraded in many years,although that was the stated purpose of many of these loans.
Veris has gutted the high grade from the underground deposits, while allowing the infrastructure to deteriorate. The environmental liabilities far outweigh any value the 'equipment' retains.
A functioning roaster has been the only thing of value Veris has been able to offer the industry for many years now. If that roaster shuts down, there isn't much left.
All the mining in recent years has been done by contractors. Once they pack up and leave, there is no 'equipment'.
