have done in the late 20th century in feasibility studies at <br /> these sites. This includes studies from 1967 through the <br /> 1980s by Freeport, Hecla, Homestake, Moly Corp, Coca <br /> Mines, and Tenneco Minerals. "But my radar is up,"Henrich <br /> concluded. Nor does Jackie Hobby, Planning and Zoning <br /> Director, have any notice from Viscount. "It kind of rings a <br /> bell," she said as she read the press release. The bell <br /> however, was the recall of a fellow from Pueblo coming into <br /> the Planning and Zoning Office about a year ago looking for <br /> employment opportunities "at that mine that's opening up." <br /> Hobby gently disabused him of his hopes. Both county <br /> officials suggested the Tribune pursue the matter with state <br /> and federal officials, and we did so. Tony Waldron,Minerals <br /> Program Supervisor with Colorado's Division of <br /> Reclamation Mining, says "we have nothing on file" <br /> regarding Viscount. He further indicated that the Division <br /> "doesn't pay any attention to marketwired.com and things <br /> like that." Stephanie Carter,with the Pueblo office of the <br /> federal Bureau of Land Management,would be among the <br /> first to learn of a required file notice of intention for such <br /> exploration. "No, we haven't heard a word," she answered in <br /> response to questioning about Viscount's statement to begin <br /> exploration in Silver Cliff. The Tribune will continue to look <br /> into Viscount's statement, and joins J.D. Henrich in having <br /> our radar up. Viscount's Silver Cliff projection can be <br /> viewed at www.viscountmining.com. By the way, the press <br /> release does come with a caveat: "This news release contains <br /> certain statements that may be deemed `forward-looking' <br /> statements...Forward looking statements are based on the <br /> beliefs, estimates and opinions of Viscount Mining Corp. <br /> management...[which] undertakes no obligation to update <br /> these forward-looking statements in the event that <br /> management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, <br /> should change." The Tribune will see to the updates. —W.A. <br /> Ewing <br />
