Correct. As there is little or nothing worth mining, those piles will just stay as they are, an infertile patch barely capable of sustaining some tumbleweed. If there was anything there besides some old tailings, it would have been processed long ago. And tailings are rarely worth going after. The SV dirt piles are surely worthless. Especially since it would cost a lot more to try to extract the gold that may be left.... $1m worth at best... a far cry from the $432m they've valued the frickin dirt at.....
Just went back and read Shepp's laughable now month old news. I can pretty much guarantee that nary a bit of it will ever happen.
