Re Millstream's Tamarack: "I wish the rules in Montana were different and they could drill it off as an open pit."

The rules in Montana are they can not use cyanide in a new open pit operation. they can cyanide underground ore or they can use non-cyanide milling of open pit ore. The Tamarack ore is mostly fine, but free milling gold, so gravity should work with a proper mill or they can ship it to the Golden sunlight operation of Barrick (45 miles?). In terms of open pit and massive tonnage potential, I do not think there is any!. the ore is in lenses on the contact of the gneiss with the limestone or lenses within the limestone. Goldfields drilled it off as an open pit over 20 years ago. Only one hole hit ore grade (hit a lens!) and they packed it in.

IMO the real Millstream potential is in the Potter.
