I watch on Youtube a young guy that's opened up his very own gold mine. The mine was abandoned about 90+yrs ago and he's rehabilitating the old mine and bringing it back online. Among the first things he did was gather up the old mine tailings and refine them himself. I find it pretty interesting.

It's mbmmllc on Youtube. He does it all himself, mining, crushing, refining, smelting.

Improvements in extraction technology can be huge multipliers and flip sites from uneconomical to profitable.

Added bonus if there are formerly waste products that now have value.

Coincidentally, I know more about that than your average Joe having worked Gold mining claims in the distant past.

There are billions of tons of gold, and other, tailings ponds all across North America.

I'd stay well away from all of them mainly because many of the ponds contain alot of poisonous chemicals, like mercury and arsenic. I guess the Green Movement wasn't that well known back in the 'nineteen oughts' ;)

Here's an informative article about that, randomly Googled...

Historic Gold Mine Tailings​


Tailings are a by-product of a gold mining process that was common in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Rocks that contained both gold and arsenic were crushed and then spread over liquid mercury to remove the gold. The mercury was then evaporated, leaving the gold.

The remaining sand-like substance is known as tailings. They include arsenic and mercury. They were typically dumped into low-lying areas or lakes and streams near the mine.

Carney is off to DC on Friday.

Any expectations of positive news on the trade front coming out of this? Negative news on the trade front out of this?

Maybe
I think Sheinbaum is going to be there as well for the FIFA event. I really don't expect anything to come out of this. I believe that the trade file is going to be 'closed' now and moved over to the CUSMA negotiations going forward. With the USSC ruling shortly, more than likely against Trump, there really is no reason for us to spend more effort on this. Let the USSC make their ruling, deal with Trump's reactionary fallout from it and focus on CUSMA.

I think it highly likely that Trump will use withdrawal from USMCA as a threat to coerce / bully the other parties to the agreement.

Yes - and we look to have some Allies within the US who will help us.


U.S. industry groups strongly back renewing CUSMA​

Manufacturers praise Trump for signing agreement in his first term, urge him to preserve it​


Julian Karaguesian, an international trade expert who read through a sample of 50 submissions, tells CBC News that their overall tone broadly favours keeping the agreement intact.

"It's very careful and polite, but it's overwhelmingly in support of, or asking for renewal of CUSMA, with as much elimination of tariffs as possible," said Karaguesian, formerly a special adviser on international trade with Canada’s Department of Finance, now a visiting lecturer in economics at McGill University in Montreal.

Karaguesian says industry groups are making the case to the Trump administration that Canadian and Mexican supplies are integral to their operations and that the two countries’ markets are important to the success of their businesses.

"The government of Canada has hundreds of small-, medium- and large-scale private sector allies," he said.

The commerce clause of the US constitution gives congress power over trade law so Trump him self cant action USMCA withdrawal notice without an act of congress, which I think at this point, house republicans will not give that to him.

That strikes me as an unfounded bit of optimism, given the last 10 months
