Four individuals that post on this board have visited the processing site. It's exactly the opposite of what you describe. The watering trucks, loaders, earth haulers and road grader are all virtually new and in excellent operating condition. The processing plant, geo-tubes, plumbing, conveyors and equipment surrounding the plant are all in good shape and very functional.
The employees are local Crescent Valley folks and from what I saw, work hard to keep their jobs. It's real life for them as it's their paycheck and puts dinner on the table and keeps the rent paid. I hope it works out long term for them and for us. The photos and video's are in the IBOX and verify what I've posted. You may want to do more reading and if do visit Las Vegas, it's well worth the drive by to see an the actual Processing of Ore System as you call it.
