i kid you not, the abandoned Pilot Mountain mine is near 'jackass pass'....and looks pretty impressive...with a neo-gothic 'shed' type entrance...

unlike Molyhil the resource is underground...still with MB's experience in raising finance that should not prove problamatic...

why would you buy an abandoned mine in another continent that has been untouched in nearly 30 years?

The USA loves tungsten...yet this Tungsten resource lays dormant! err why?

This has to be the most bizarre decision i have ever witnessed.

If you tasked MB to go to market and sell your only cow i swear he would swap the cow for a tin can full of magic beans...but he'd come back with just the rusty tin can...because he threw the magic beans away so he could kick the empty can down the road home...
