    The first pic shows the old mill processing plant that closed in Sept 2004 when the place was an open pit mine and the pit wall collapsed....(I was there then too...)

    The second pit shows the new portal where we are going underground to mine underneath the old pit.

    Plug this into Google Earth's search box:

    28°40'19.92" S 121°10'33.75" E


    Go close in for a look and you can see the slip - about 10 Million ton of rock slipped....

    My office, not a current pic, but it is me....This is what I do for a living, along with repairing body and frame work.

    There are two gold mines near me. Both have been inactive for several years, but one is gearing up again. They've bee drilling & doing some kind of magnetic surveys by helicoptor and buying up land like crazy.

    You in the trade too Cactus?

    I think the US guys still use solvent based base-coats, the water based base-coats we have to use are down to those bastards in Brussels

    No sir, It's not mandatory yet in FL. PPG has been hounding us to switch over but we've declined until we have to. But get this, you have to be "licensed" now to spray in certain counties of FL. Get a Certified painter certificate through a school or 3 hour seminar. Basically it's knowing what VOC's are and how to clean your gun after you spray and disposing of solvents. All this does is takes liability from shop owner if EPA or Fire Marshal comes into shop and sees a painter spraying primer or anything else (More than 3 ounces) with VOC's outside of the booth. $1,000 - $10,000 fine... You can't even clean your gun buy blowing thinner through it, you have to break it down and wash it or put it in a gun cleaner.

    I think California is the only state that it's Mandatory to use Waterborne paints.

    With gold at over $1400 an ounce now, a lot of old mines are worth revisiting.....
