Deloria says, "...Dr.Webb has never built a mine."

I suppose that might be technically true, at least, not all by himself. But, others at Tyhee have had a lot of experience in building mines:

Tyhee's Board of Directors and management combined, have had major roles in bringing over a DOZEN mines into production:

Roger Sylvestre was a director of, and Dave Webb a consultant to (and later president) Mongolia Gold when they built the Bumbat Mine in Mongolia. (Unfortunately, the government expropriated the production and took over the mine).

Dave Webb owned the small Mon Mine, and operated during construction in the NWT (privately).

Dave also wrote the qualifying report for Fortune Minerals Limited for their acquisition of the Nico Project in the NWT (an advanced stage IOCG project [post feasibility] at the permitting stage.) This was the first report to recognize the bulk-mineable potential of the property.

Lorne Anderson was CFO of Glamis Gold when they built the Glamis Mine, Rand mine and acquired and expanded the Marigold and Pinsent Mines

Bill Burton was a senior engineer, engineering manager, mine manager, manager of mining, of Echo Bay Mines when they built:

Contact Lake Mine (Port Radium)

Lupin Mine

McCoy Mine

Cove Mine

Kettle River

Round Mountain

Or significantly expanded the Alaska Juneau Mine

Bill also was (and is) COO of Western Canadian Coal when they built the three mines of the Wolverine Project

Hugh Wilson and Denis Taschuk were part of Echo Bay Mines.

Doug Levesque and Rod McKay were involved and managed the Seabee and developed the Santoy Mines for Claude Resources
