Hell... Tungsten could be worth more then Gold. Last I heard there were no significant Tungsten deposits in the U.S of A
“If anyone were contemplating creating “fake” gold bars, tungsten [at roughly $10 per pound] would be the metal of choice”
The Eugene mountains about 27 miles west of Winnemucca, Nevada has a very large depost of tungsten where there is a government owned mine that just reopened a few years ago. Some told me it was started up during WWII and was closed in the 50’s or 60’s, don’t remember but they had a guard living at the mine and the everything was kept ready. Kind of makes one wonder why it opened up again considering this recent gold debaching using tungsten.
