Moving the mining equipment from the Golden Bear to Red Mountain is certainly a viable option. Another is to truck the ore to a nearby mill, which is currently "moth balled". This is under consideration, as well. The advantage to this latter option, is that Wheaton could "dress up" the Golden Bear, complete with a mill, and sell the property to some junior, thereby generating some cash to offset the clean up costs they must incur to close down the heap leach operation. Regards.
