Thanks TR....My doubts were right and so are you...Our day will come. But at least this quote by Friedland is worth noting. It fits Eagle's Nest to a "T" with it's conical shape and densely packed ore formation. Even with it being solely underground the fact that it doesn't wander much from it's vertical orientation, and is encased in such desirable rock for aggregate use, should been seen as definite advantage to mining .... Enough to make any major miner, or geologist, for that matter, salivate with delight.

Thanks again TR for posting.

Friedland quote:

“The higher the grade, the smaller the environmental footprint, Friedland has said. “The higher the grade, the smaller the plant; the less the electrical consumption, the smaller the labour force, the smaller the tailings pond, the less the global warming gas per unit of metal produced.”
