Garick, the guards at the mill will NOT be armed. This was stated clearly by PQ during the mill tour. However, I do concur with what we heard about the Brinks truck, blacked out SUV's and heli with machine gun. But only when there is a pickup of (potentially) tens of millions in Dore.

That's what I heard. I think there is confusion about the normal guard activity and the special arrangements for picking up Dore.
