GOTCHA! I KNEW if you reveal the entirety of what you claimed I said, would give attribution and in context, I could put your credibility out to pasture. Man, this one was TOOOOO easy.

Here's the "context" you failed to provide:

CR Lum, I beg to disagree w/you but 1gpt is perfectly okay for
an economical GOLD mine via Cyanide Heap Leaching. Sulfidenous
is a tad different story.

I was at a mining site just outside of Virginia City(NV) 2 wks ago,
where a SILVER OPEN PIT MINE was being excavated for .033 gpt,
and 800 mil tons according to the signage at the fenced pit was
considered discard rock.


So, be careful about what you say about 1gpt in an open pit situation.
Trust me, the US location of the SILVER OPEN PIT MINE in Virgina City,
certainly is NOT home to the "low wage" US miner!!! Nope, not
by a longshot!

Dear CR Lum,

Thank you for your reply.

The open pit to which I was referring in my Virginia City, NV example
was only about 50 metres deep, (max 70 metres) (metre roughly equals
a US yardstick or 3')

The overburden that AZS "has to remove" will be done VEEEEERY careful-
ly, I assure you: it contains 2 mil oz of proven reserves before
getting to the "porphory zone" below, and the sulfidenous zone BELOW
THAT!!!

Yes, .03 gpt at 70 metres depth of SILVER is economical to mine, open
pit wise. With silver at $5 and change per oz,(or $0.05 per gram)
that is a tremendous contrast to 1gpt gold, let alone the other min-
erals that are in the overburden and economically extractable.

With gold currently at $385T/oz making 1 gpt approximately $12.60,
well, I believe I've made my point.

Thank you for your valuable opinions expressed in this forum.

CLOSE QUOTE from which you unadvisedly took your rant!

Can't believe you didn't understand that the Virginia City Silver Deposit at the grades so stated on signage approximately 4'x8' as a historical marker, and in almost all the tourist brochures in the restuarants of that quaint ghost town were profitably mined. And you come on here for 3 PLUS weeks 4 1/3 YEARS after my vacation to that city, photographing that sign and eating in their restuarants, that I made that up?

Man, you are a collossal fool.

Next time Marcos spoon feeds you bullshit quotation URLS he wants to attribute to me, why don't you take a few moments and read a few posts prior to it before sticking your teenie weenie into the benchvise?

HAHAHAHAHAHOHOHOHOHOHOHO, take it up with the Silver City NV Chamber of Commerce!!!!!!!!

That mine DOOFUSSSSS, wasn't shut down do to low grade, any more than any other mine was back in those days...it was closed by presidential decree for WWII reallocation of miners and laborers.

Your rant does NOTHING to prove or disprove your premise that by comparison, BAY is economic. The economics you don't understand is that BAY's silver deposit, I don't care if it was sitting around in neatly stacked good delivery bar pallets just awaiting the UPS man...the world does NOT need another silver mine.
