" We are producing our first resource-a 43-101 resource- on three of five of our most advanced targets. So,really demonstrating we have the same system (as Hecla's Keno Hill), a continuation of the same geology just off to the east and we are taking that to first resources."
Q:Are you in discussions with Hecla?
"We've always had a good relationship with Alexco-who Hecla acquired last year-and we continue those discussions with Hecla.
What's exciting about our property- I think even from their (Hecla's) perspective- is that we are on the same road (The Silver Trail Highway),the same geology ....but these are potentially open....very shallow,we start right at surface deposits that can be open pittable.
I think in the longer term we see that other half of the district (East Keno) has a lot of unexplored value so let's develop that value and understand it."
Sounds like the West and Central Keno resources are open to some kind of arrangement with Hecla while Greg states MMG wants to develop the resources at East Keno.
Master Plan:
Scott Petsel talks partering with Hecla and/or Hecla monetizing some of their assets @ 8:40 "...or finding another company like Discovery SIlver" to develop East Keno for them: "They might like to have some resources in a more secure jurisdiction like the Yukon."
