Benton mine has been abandoned by the company. If that is what you meant by "the positives of the mine", I agree it was a total dog. In spite of the glowing NI 43-101 written by the guy who was seen giving tours as the mine director. http://www.dailytidings.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080517/LIFE/305179981&cid=sitesearch

From the last 10-k

Benton Mine


"The Company has had a lease, which is under dispute for the Benton Mine. The mine is currently in Care and Maintenance mode. There are disagreements with the owners of Benton Mine and Dutch Mining LLC as to the amount of royalties due to the lessor. Dutch Mining LLC does not and will not operate under the aforementioned lease until a reclamation plan is completed and a full commercial permit is obtained. The Company produced and sold gold ore in 2007 and 2008, selling gold concentrates to a domestic buyer and to an international buyer. The Company has not produced or sold any gold from the Benton Mine since 2008."

And more recently: 12/21/10
"The Basin Gulch project Montana, the Jungo property outside Winnemucca, Nevada, and the Gold Bug Mine in Oregon comprise the Company's current portfolio"

It (and Gold Bug) are missing from the updated company website as well http://www.dutchgold.com/
