That was 9 years ago!!!! Gold was at $400 per OZ!! Ummm..at today's price of $1754 per OZ every abandoned Gold Mine in the world with any gold left in it has become ATTRACTIVE again! They've recently opened up a gold mine in Cornwall,UK of all places!!!
I'm afraid your example about Tumi 9 years ago is OBSOLETE as today's gold prices make Cinco Minas literally a treasure trove!! Even Bandera thought so in 2006/7 b4 they screwed it up and got kicked out by MSJ!! lol
