Post# of 24249
I just recieved an email reponse from Julie Draksler and she say's some interesting thiings about the situation. I'm sure she won't mind me posting it here.

Hello -----,

We have not yet designed the pit, so any noise you may hear about is based on premature worry. The local opposition, a very minor minority, deserve to voice their opinions regarding any local operations. In addition, there are thousands of residents that are very supportive. Our reclamation bond is set and held in trust by the government and is more than sufficient to cover any issues, should Comstock Mining not fulfill its legal permitted requirements. Our major investor is a long-standing environmental naturalist that has some amazing ideas for the land use after mining production.

I appreciate your ideas and have sent them along to our operations team. But we are a planning organization and very little happens without very thorough evaluation and expert alignment with the goal.

Kind regards,

Julie Draksler



This quote I find particularly interesting...

"The local opposition, a very minor minority, deserve to voice their opinions regarding any local operations. In addition, there are thousands of residents that are very supportive."

Basically I emailed her to ask a few questions and because I looked at google earth from street view and top down google earth
'I'm an instant geologist now right ha ha' I know, I know... Anyway the pit area appeared to be basically out in the middle of knowhere with alot of dirt mounds right at the side of the road wich got me thinking. Firstly what's the big deal? Secondly a pit with high walls is basically a natural sound/dust buffer. I'm not a geologist but maybe they could even go as far as to stack up dirt around the outer portions of the pit to block views and noise for the few people it may effect? I also reccomended some visual aids to this regaurd for the upcoming meeting. ha ha. Ok I know...Keep it to yourself wiseguys. Anyway, I'm sure they don't want guys like me back seat driving but it was very nice of Julie to give me a response.

On another note: I recently read that Nevada has the highest unemployment rate and biggest debt in the country of all the states 12.5%...Job's anyone? Plenty of food for thought here.It's all an interesting story for the press to sink there teeth into. Every one loves a little drama and controversy sell papers, but I think the drama has bee over played now. To quote Degasperis from the article " WE ARE GOING TO MINE"


I'm starting to believe we just might. ( ;

Let's hope so. GO LODE!!!
