RE: I'm OK;Jim Maybe This Will Help don't think the guys on the message board get what has gone on!
There are no people at the mill, none, nobody to run it. The State of Nevada would have shut it down
at the start of the year because we did not upgrade the mercury scrubbing system like we said.
SMD is not going to mine there with out cash up front. At least that is what I heard, and that's probably smart.
Even if they did, what could you do with the ore? Send it to Newmont and get shagged on the price of toll
milling, like GBG. Maybe YNG thinks they can get mill hands? They couldn't before they let the ones they did
have go.
If the mines weren't making money, I agree, they needed to be shut down. I don't believe that was the case, G.
Dickson brought in a guy by the name of Dave Drips that shut the mill & mines down for 4 months & spent money
like we had too much. He told all of us that either he would be a hero, or the worst VP this property ever had.
I'll let you decide what that outcome was. Dave Drips was so arrogant that he still thinks he did a good job.
If I bought this property, there is no way I would live in Vancouver. I would have made everyone move to Elko, where
the business was. They couldn't keep up with Drips or with business in general from Vancouver.
