9lt98x, I have another thought on the matter of the land purchase.
After reading the "sticky post" from the "Silverton Standard" above, it occurred to me that the dry stacking may be a situation of mutual "problem solving". It says the dry stacked tailings will be used to fill in an existing tailing pond on the old Kittimac property owned by Jack Clark. Obviously, Mr. Clark would benefit by this elimination of an ecological problem on his land, as well as saving the cost of having the problem fixed himself. From my point of view, it makes the sale of the land a good deal for both parties. I doubt Mr. Clark is getting very many other offers for the land in it's present condition.
The more you look at CGFI's approach to problems put in their path, the more you have to admire their thinking. IMHO, these guys are winners!
