You call me uninformed but you don't say why you think that.
Did you read the reports on the stockpile on the hill in Etzatlan? At least look at the pictures? That pile is not tailings. They are waste dumps, they have not been crushed or milled or processed....which is what would make them tailings.
And did you know that the pile has slowly been hauled away over the last 2 years? That "billion" dollar pile is a fraction of what it was. I posted the aerial photos....what did you think?
