E. Charters is correct in his observation that if you are looking to sell a mine to a major, and that major has an operating mine beside you, then you are typically going to get burned.

I'm not sure how that relates to Tyhee, as there is no operating mine adjacent to Tyhee, nor are we looking to sell our operation to the operator 90 km to the south.

There are examples where juniors go into old camps and make tremendous discoveries. In base metals, the Louvicourt discovery is an excellent example. Some would argue that Goldcorp is an example of a small operator exploring in, what for all intents and purposes was a closed operation (it had ceased production, but exploration had continued)in their Red Lake mine (adjacent to Placer Dome by the way). Not a bad example one would think.
