A Canadian "entity/outfit" acquired rights to the mine/property in 2013. As far as I know, they are only in a holding pattern with it now.
Reading information on the property, there did appear to be some percentage of silver mixed in the copper results as silver and copper often "go together". However the silver amounts back in the time of frame of last reliable information doesn't indicate silver in quantities worth going after. Minimal silver in the mix basically.
I mean "hello"??? Mining was "very" competent in the region for approximately 150 years, do you really think anyone drilling core samples would miss a significant deposit of silver? Duh.....think not.
