Well,
That's one reason why I hope that I'll be able to go out to Opp and Utah in late April. I really, really hope that I can, but as I said yesterday...it all depends upon one thing happening.
But if that one thing does happen, and if I get to go, I guarantee that I'll find out WHY the gold mine hasn't been mined first. Because I can see the logic behind your statement. But I've also been to Utah before, and I know that getting the gold out of the ground isn't quite as easy as it might sound.
Oh! And I just remembered one thing. Wasn't PHGI trying to get a JV going to help with the mine? And didn't they say that so far it had not been successful because the prospective partner(s) wanted too much control? If that's the case, then PHGI might have to lower it's sights a little bit. If I were the experienced JV mining partner, I would want a lot of control too.
