Possibly, but I think it would be in their best interests to use the team that is already in place. There are 175 employees at Hollister right now. I'd imagine they wouldn't just fire them all and put an entire new team in. Well, I suppose they could, but it would apparently be the first time they did that.
Maybe they can let their buddies at Gyphon Gold take over the mining of Hollister?
Just because they own the property doesn't necessarily mean that GBG is out of the picture. GBG just won't own the mine anymore.
My point is, they are going to do a JV with someone... why not the people that know more about the mine than anyone else?
