RE: RE: A Heart of Goldmarathon is spinning out a deposit,nothing complicated. MY scenario says that teck (duckpond mine/mill) will process the ore as its only less than an hour away by dump/rock truck . it would also make a whole lot of scense for teck cominco to finance the vl mine and make more profits for themselves by possibly buying the ore and reselling it. before you laugh heres a little tidbit,,,,,, a mine in greenland sent their gold ore by ship to south brook newfoundland where it was unloaded and trucked by semidump one hour to a mill at nugget pond where it was milled and then it was hauled back to the ship and taken elsewhere to market . this went on for years till last year when the mine closed (rumoured). the vl property has a decent road and access to teck's mill and trucking facility ,, a really big plus to add to a possible open pit mine. it would take a real big screwup for this not to work . financing here could be minimal, 10-20 million tops and the environmental impact would be lower using teck;s tailings pond.
