judging from the photo, it was taken before the first snow flew? If that is the case, then the company did a good job of keeping this huge find under a code of silence for a while.

The first hint of discovering a minealized zone at the surface was published in the last Silverado news release by Tom Bundtzen November 23, 2009

"In addition to drilling, Silverado staff scraped sections of mineralized zones clear of colluvial materials on Pringle Bench with the aid of a surface excavator, which provided excellent new surface exposures from which detailed geologic studies and sampling can be completed"
