Maybe part of the reason optimists on this thread have received criticism, is that the idea of a pit and leaching is so different from the way these placer deposits are mined traditionally. So, the obvious question from an uninformed seat-of-the-pants speculator like myself is... How are placer deposits traditionally mined. I assume in the manner in which Golden Eagle was picking at it before, sluicing and various separation techniques. I should know this already, but even with the pit, will there be some separation going on--what I am getting at is, there must be a certain portion of cobbles and boulders which a geologist can just look at and know that there is no gold in there. You would not want to waste any effort crushing and leashing those. Once again displaying my ignorance, but happy to chat it up.
