ok Richard, time for me to ask a dumb question about mining desert dirt.
When the other industry strips mines coal, they save the dirt and put it back from where it came. Probably adding grass seeds or trees.
When Maxam takes out the gold, does this happen ?
1. Grind the desert dirt into a find grain. 2. ????????????????????? 3. Send off site to have the gold removed. 4. Returned in mail is a check for money, plus the stuff sent, minus gold.
Now, I'll guess that the stuff in 3., sent off site, is .001% of the dirt doug up with the bulldozer. And also may contain the special and secret gook to capture the dirt hidding the gold.
In 2., the 99+% dirt that is not sent off site, is it cleaned up so that it can be put back onto the desert so that the desert is not changed. Yes ?
If the cleaned up dirt is put back, then its alread grinded up for later to be gooked for other precious metals. yes ?
Did anyone ever figure out if that small clear glass like contamination was simply a broken clear Miller beer bottle, or maby diamonds in the roof ?
