As of the date the article(2009) with the price at that time of $900 avg per ounce and using their own figures its around one million in gold.

My question is how much have they taken out up to 2011 ??

Did they sell it for fair market value??

What was the refining costs ?

Are they really shut down or is there a backhoe and some peons still digging ??

Do we have any way of seeing the books from St. Elias Mineralis to get an accounting of specifics to that operation?

The facts are buried in the details, little of which is disclosed IMO
