RE:RE:RE:A LITTLE NEWSThings started in this company a long time ago. Acquiring the largest silver deposit ever found in Oregon, getting 480 ounce-per-ton bonanza assays, achieving 90% silver recovery and a 95% rejection-rate of worthless host rock with cutting-edge ore-sorting technology, producing a Maiden Resource estimate with extensive geological and historical data which suggests colossal potential, increasing production-capacity from 50 tpd to 200 tpd of ore, increasing the haulage-ways, pouring the first test bar, building a massive concentrate-processing facility in Idaho, acquiring the Brandywine property which is the next Esaky Creek, assembling a mining team of local Silver Valley miners whose families go back in the area for a century, getting the AISC as low as between $5-10 an ounce. You know, working.
If you mean full-scale production, Graeme needed $3-5 million even to think about starting that. And he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about scraping together loan-money to ship off $15 silver to J. P. Morgan and friends. We only did start it a couple of months ago and mining isn't an on/off switch.
