"If this saga lasts that long I'll see ya all later" I don't know how long this is going to last, but once/if financing is done, I would hope there would be a long and rewarding mine life up at the Nolan. If what they have found only scratches the surface and is capable of a 5 yr. mine life, what does the rest of the Nolan have?? There is definately more up there than just "Workmans Bench". That is at the bottom. They still have the whole "upper" hilside to drill yet, and the other parts of their 12 Sq. mi. ,!00% owned property !!!!!! Like I have said before, Silverado is sitting on a gold mine ! I'm retired, I have nothing BUT time, but it all isn't going to be spent worrying about Silverado ! Another beer please !!!!!!!!!!
