Thanks Grim - people seem to forget just how expensive it is to perform meaningful exploration & locate real mineral veins - depth, width & length. The Nolan is a perrfect example. If Silverado had the money of a Barrick Gold, they would have been in production 10 years ago - thank goodness the infrastructures are in place to quickly move to the production phase whenever financing occurs. Most people have no idea just how rich the Silverado Crown Jewel on the Nolan is - hopefully they will find out in 2011 & thereafter.
