Looks like the company is informing the people of Virginia City of their plans.

Notice in the article Corrado states their goal is to validate 3-5M oz of gold. This is up from their previous goal of 3M by 2013. If we are producing 20K oz gold a year we are looking at around 12-15M in profit per year to start at the current price of gold and silver. Throw in the exploration potential and you've got your self a home run of a stock choice. The run up when they do announce production will be very similar to the run up in 08 when production plans were announced. Unfortunately they were not able to achieve production that year because of the market melt down and the capital markets drying up. Now they have 30M dollars to reach their goal and I'm betting this is the year. I'm also betting that they receive a buyout offer by years end in the range of 7B dollars, just my guess ;-).
