A tunnel on the Idanha claim near Park property has reached 748 feet and cut a 27-foot ore ledge with assays around 2.5 copper, 17 to 20 gold, and 0.58 ounces silver. A second tunnel site on Wise river side could reach 1000 feet depth. both tunnels aim to tap pay ore with dry workings and water power nearby. Local investors Menara Ripley Felt Grant Haw back the plan, with surface shows favorable indications and experts predicting a bright future.
