Diddler, simple common sense leads any thinking person to deduce that they have nothing of value. And, if you know a bit about mining, this becomes even more obvious.
A few points:
Any tailings pile is easy to reprocess......but
NO tailings pile has much value.
Even if the original miners missed some minerals, the amount would be small.
As was the original. The deposit was sub-economic, as they only recovered 2500 ounces, a very very low grade.
A deposit, such as NMC purports, if valid, would have been snapped up years ago. NO ONE leaves that kind of riches just sitting, collecting naught but tumbleweed seeds....
Conclusion, made in a couple hours by yours truly, after a morning's DD, early in 2005, was that this is a pipe dream.
Con
Scam,
what have you.
