Kinross was booted out because people complained Kinross was destroying the environment according to people I rode with up to the Sinker Tunnel.
Florida's mountain top was severed and De La Mar is an open pit disaster. Kinross has to restore both areas to their original form. We're talking major dollars.
This is why I believe SFMI is a gold mine. It's hidden from sight except for the roads that lead to it and the Sinker Tunnel entrance.
SFMI is actually doing the people a favor by removing the leftover ore from the mountain top. I would bet the BLM will allow them to build roads to access the others dumps to clear them up.
This is how this reporter sees it.
