It is Carlin type ore. That you can rest assured on. I have held the ore in my own two hands and sniffed it. Eyebald even. Low silica, oxidixzed sulfide bleb yaller pine limestone.. there she be. Carlin. Clear as lime mud. The question is, even given its evident width, is it a pod here and there, rich enuff for small mining, or has it more potential.. of sization? We know you cannot mine it open pit AND heap leach it..but nobody said you could not mine it open pit AND full mill it.. the law is quite specific.. heap leach open pit is what is prohibited. Open pit by itself is not prohibited) No stacking and dripping.. from an open pit it makes you wonder if you can underground mine it and heap leach it.. probably not though.. I have read the law and it is one paragraph. and that is that.. no great specifics, subparagraphs and such detail.. Can they go beyond the 5 acre thingies IF they find more of this stuff at the fault intersections that are reputed to hold potential for more pods? Was the Goldfield's drilling conclusive in denial? I think not, really. If the zones are 50 feet wide, no amount of 200 foot spaced vertical drilling are going to have much luck... EC<:-}
