CMM has property on Admiralty Island specifically. And greenscreek is like King Solomens mine.

The silver comes out in globs. It is primarily a zinc mine, but the silver runs 20 oz to the ton and gold is .18, plus it has lead. It is highly faulted but they keep finding more and more ore bodies and they are really rich.

Interestingly, as much exploration as they did in this area in the early 1900's they completely missed this orebody. So much ovreburden. Southeast Alaska has the highest bio mass per acre in the world.

One of my friends was one of the discovering geologists of Greenscreek and he said the ore is unbelievable.

The AJ where Juneau is located had/has 100's of millions of tons of .05 gold, bulk mineable, and was at one time the largest underground mine in the world.

This area is just so rich in minerals and is the reason I am betting on RDV. It is just over the mountain from the AJ and across the river from the Polaris Taku which has several million tons of 1/3 oz gold--Hemlo grade. CCM-lol and they are doing 20,000 meters of drilling right now.

The new Kensington mine owned by Coeur will probably run a hundred years just by finding more ore when they get underground.
