I want to thank all the MAGMA members for making this dig such a great success. It took about a day and a half for the diggers to get down to areas that started to produce some nice material. This mine has been idle for years. It will take some work to get back down to the super productive areas. As many people know, this site was producing some great material when it was closed years ago. Its time to start producing again. We hope to arrange at least 2-3 trips a year to this site.
