Its all hard rock mining. You have to have the crushers, the mills and all to do it. Its not Gold that is placer type gold like they have in Alaska..although there is a tiny bit like that.
I understand that the Ropes mine was at about 2500 tons to the ounce before it closed back down. But, there was also no exploration as that was a old closed mine that was re-opened.
Takes a lot of money to explore and develop mineral production. What geologist have been saying is that this area was one time one of the highest mountain ranges in the world. In these ancient mountains there are minerals.
Up around this area, there is a lot of sulfur in the water. What causes that sulfur?
But I’m with ya. If we dont go for it, it aint never gonna happen.
Yes let's go for it, I just drove through PA and got to see a lot of pickup trucks full of mud with plates from Texas and elsewhere, and getting off the highway with an impromptu turnaround got me in a drive that had a sign that said something something LLC Drilling.
You guessed it, Shale Gas, and jobs, why aren't we doing it here....
