567tbd ,why 90 days ?
Did the last owners of the mill go through the same procedure ?
A bunch of bs ,i'm thinking that Wally is is against the mill unless this is protacol.
I'm starting to not like Wally !
I use to ski 4 times a year in Colorado ,Copper, Breckenridge ,Telluride, Wolf Creek. Nothing better then Colorado .In my opinion of course. You live in a great state Borgon.
Nice post sem1 ,there is nothing to worry about, so we have to wait for the application to be approved and then the mill is ready to produce ore.

Thar’s gold in them thar Silverton hills; lead, zinc and a lot less trout in rivers below

0 CommentsShare In 2001 when Aaron Brill was gearing up to open his extreme skiing mecca of Silverton Mountain, gold was selling for $250 an ounce and the upper Animas River was meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aquatic life standards. Now gold is pushing $2,000 an ounce and three of four trout species no longer can live in the upper Animas because of acid drainage from abandoned gold mines north of Silverton.
According to a the Silverton Standard, water experts say four old mines are pumping 845 gallons of mine drainage per minute into Cement Creek and then the Animas River. Elevated levels of lead, zinc and other toxic minerals now justify an EPA Superfund Cleanup listing, but Brill and others worry such a designation will stigmatize the scenic San Juan Mountain town in the minds of skiers and other tourists.

“The image of a Superfund site can’t be understated,” Brill said at a meeting on the topic earlier this month. “We’re supportive of clean-water initiatives, but we’re not supportive of the damage that can be done from the perception of a Superfund site.”
Brill’s one-lift Silverton Mountain resort has become a popular destination for expert skiers and snowboarders to test themselves against some of the steepest and most challenging terrain in the state.
But Vail, one of the most successful ski resorts in the world, has thived near the Eagle Mine Superfund Site for years. The quality of the water in the upper Eagle River has improved dramatically since the early 1990s, when zinc, cadmium and copper from tailings piles used to make the river run orange. The Eagle River immediately below the mine still doesn’t support rainbow trout but is now home to a healthy brown trout population.
EPA officials at the Silverton meeting earlier this month said they won’t put the old gold mines on the National Priorities List (NPL) under the Superfund law without local support and Gov. John Hickenlooper signing off. The listing also doesn’t mean the EPA pays for mitigation measures; just that it will monitor the cleanup.
“The problem is worsening water quality,” said Sabrina Forrest, site assessment manager for the EPA in Denver. “There are elevated levels of metals in fish people are eating.”
One of the suggestions for cleaning up the mess near Silverton is finding a mining company willing to re-open some or all of the mines and deal with cleanup while extracting gold at today’s runaway prices.
The owner of the Gold King and Mogul mines in question, Todd Hennis of Golden, said the state dropped the ball with former owner and operator Sunnyside Gold, letting the mining company slide on water quality issues in the Gladstone area north of Silverton.
“The state of Colorado has a huge responsibility for this situation,” Hennis said, according to the Standard. “Sunnyside walked out of this district and their $5 million bond was returned.”
Hennis backs another mining company starting up operations again and extracting what he estimates is $700 million in gold still in the Gold King mine – a project he says would create 200 jobs for 20 years. Others said Sunnyside Gold’s parent company, Kinross, should be targeted for funds to build water treatment on Cement and bulkheads at the old mines to shore them up.
Let's hope for the best and thanks for your reply
Ficose do you live closer to Silverton?
I would like to know that the work they say is being done is being done .I'm 100% behind CGFIA !
Go to Silverton and go up Co 2 towards Howardsville.
I think we need eyes on the ground at the mill to see whats going on plus what I have been saying for sometime a conference call.
Yes td I would like an explanation and I would like to ask some other questions about the mill also. I would realy like a conference call so all the questions that are out there will be answerd.
A conference call would be nice .
The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult.

Once that mill is open and running the company will be making money.
I remember a company changed their stock symbol and it cost the shorts a ton of money.
Thanks to Steve Guyer and everyone behind the scenes at Colorado Goldfields .
Thanks 567tbs ,the one thing I like in the pr is the trust factor
between cgfia and drms.Great news today and there should be more to come.
