In the world of precious metal discovery and mining the single most important element may be the assay. The most startling element to the Assay is that the numbers seem rather small when you first glance at them. In most cases, gold mines are looking at 2 grams or even less per ton of rock pulled out of the mine. Can you imagine the excitement a mining operation might have if they were pulling out twice that amount? How about more than 20 grams of silver? Well that is what Silver Falcon Mining ($SFMI) (OTCBB:SFMI) is looking at as far as its mines are concerned. The old tailings that the original miners left have been assayed and show those kind of results. Then next big step for the company will be to get approval from the local government to proceed with its development of the closed loop cyanide leaching process. This step will dramatically enhance the company's extraction capabilities, bring jobs into the local economy and build this company from a start up to a very real business. The time this has taken has really been remarkably fast. Most mining operations spend several years dealing with environmental issues and impacts that Silver Falcon has already navigated. The last few steps are close at hand and each step forward brings the company closer to making a major leap forward. Keep your eyes open as the Silver Falcon Mines are getting ready for take off.
