Imanabad- your post saying mines have no value is ridiculous, that part about toxic bomb is true! Wally Erickson is the biggest pain in the ass to our success, evidently there are no mines in the siverton area or Colorado producing.-- why the toxic bomb problem granted. However years have passed since 1994, close down,plenty of lawsuits going through the court system since 1994. Over those years science has come up with solutions to many of those problems for instance knight Piesold on dry stacking, which is environmentally friendly an the reason wally Erickson gave approvel but with conditions for full permit approvel!
