An 'Abandoned' Mine will have to be proven to still be viable, so who will come along and do the testing to justify Government Funding? Perhaps they could test those old bags of Ore still lying around doing nothing? If MORE testing proved sufficiently positive, maybe they could get a Grant for further exploration in Fencemaker. It's such a small worked out Mine, I doubt they'd be interested, but they could put in a request and see. It will take months. Unlikely to get a sniff at any Grant...to small, but if Antimony is STILL there in large quantities, it may be a different story.
