RE:100 miners on the payrollI believe Robin mentioned they would be taking out cash advances on the company credit card at 21% interest to pay the employees.
Well, it does not take a whole lot of thought to determine that since the company will be cash flow neutral within a couple of months (any money invested directly by Fortune in upgrading facilities and production at the mine will be recovered from sales of silver), employees will be paid from revenues of the mine. It is a profitable operation.
