As of the 2000 census, the city population was 4,041. It is the county seat of White Pine County. . The Taylor project includes a historical measured resource estimate of 16 million ounces of silver, a 1,320 ton per day mill with flotation and cyanide leach plants, and approximately 900 acres of mining claims. The historical measured resource estimate was completed by Alta Gold in 1999 using extensive technical data and economic parameters, but was not compiled within the definitions and standards outlined in NI 43-101. Their calculations indicated 5.92 million tons grading 2.7 oz/t Ag or 15.98 million ounces of contained silver.

Mr. Steve Vanry, President of Fury, commented that, "We have acquired a potential turnkey open-pit silver mine and mill, located in one of the world's most favorable mining jurisdictions. The Company will immediately begin studying the feasibility of restarting the mill and producing from the existing open-pit silver resource. We also plan to undertake an aggressive exploration program this year with the intention of expanding existing silver resources." The Taylor Silver Mine The Taylor Mine is located in White Pine County, Nevada White Pine County is a county located in the U.S. state of Nevada. The 2000 census recorded its population to be 9,181; a 2006 estimate placed its population at 9,542. Its county seat is Ely6. It is the home of Great Basin National Park. , 15 miles south of the town of Ely, 2 miles east of US Highway 50. The project is contained within 34 unpatented and 4 patented mining claims. The Taylor mining district was discovered in 1868 and during the ensuing 20 year period, it is reported that approximately 60,000 tons of ore estimated to have an average grade of 20 oz/t Ag was mined. Underground mining was sporadic until 1979 when Alta Gold began mining a 7.0 million ton open pit resource averaging 3.2 oz/t Ag. Due to faltering metal prices, mining activities were abandoned in 1991, leaving the majority of the open pit resource in place.

The mill and counter-current cyanide plant became operational in April of 1981. In 1989 Alta Gold expanded the mill to include a copper, lead and zinc flotation circuit for processing ore from the nearby Ward Mine. The mill has been on care and maintenance since 1991 and, upon recent inspection by Company consultants, was deemed to be in excellent condition.
