Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a direct link between BlackLock and the notorious ransomware group Eldorado
and confirmed that BlackLock is a rebranded version of the earlier threat actor
After facing increased scrutiny from law enforcement and security experts
Eldorado resurfaced under the BlackLock name
adopting enhanced capabilities while continuing its ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operations
BlackLock executed 48 attacks in the first two months of the year
with construction and real estate firms the most impacted
Unlike other ransomware groups that follow predictable attack patterns
BlackLock operates with a high degree of flexibility
making it difficult to anticipate and counter its tactics
renaming them with randomized extensions before delivering a ransom note titled “HOW_RETURN_YOUR_DATA.TXT.”
The group uses fast encryption speeds to maximize disruption
targeting attacks on industries with high-value assets
BlackLock has also been found using ransomware and destructive wipers against government agencies
The group has been identified on encrypted messaging platforms
BlackLock retains Eldorado’s technical foundation
including its use of Golang for cross-platform attacks and its sophisticated encryption techniques
it has improved upon previous methods with faster encryption speeds and more targeted attack strategies
This pattern follows similar transitions seen in past ransomware groups
such as BabLock (Babuk) BlackMatter (Revil)

“BlackLock has emerged as one of the most notorious ransomware groups in 2025
gaining widespread infamy for publicly listing numerous high-profile victims on their leak site,” DarkAtlas explained
“Their rapid rise and sophisticated attack methods have positioned them as a major threat in the cybersecurity landscape
underscoring the urgent need for enhanced defensive strategies and proactive threat mitigation.”

Scott Gertner, one of the most prominent figures in Houston’s music and nightlife scenes, has unexpectedly passed away
A brief statement by the musician’s family did not share a cause of death
and stated that funeral details would be shared soon
[Update: A representative for the family tells CultureMap that Gertner died of natural causes
luring people in with live grooves and a mouth-watering menu
In my previous life as a nightlife reporter
Gertner was the person I usually contacted whenever I needed intel on jazz clubs in the city
I surprised him one day with a 12-inch single he recorded in the late ‘80s for CBS Records
a lost item I picked up at a nearby record store.)
But I know I’m not the only person who has sparkling memories featuring Gertner
I reached out to a few friends and asked them what they’ll remember the most about the late
film critic/radio personality: “We had many fantastic CBS Radio Houston Christmas parties at the Skybar
Scott was always the most gracious host and fun performer
two of my close friends went to high school at HSPVA with Scott
Scott was playing at the old Ruggles on lower Westheimer
back when everyone cruised that area on the weekends
my friends and I would scream ‘Gertner’ out the car window
like he was going to hear us and come out and say hi
The boys were so excited Scott had a real gig.”
music producer/former Skybar bartender: “When I tell you I wouldn’t know half the people I know — I wouldn’t have made a good deal of the money I’ve made in my life — and not have had many of the experiences (too many!) that made me who I am if not for this man
“But there’s so much more to remember about the guy
I soaked up so much game about music and nightlife
a course more valuable than any class I could’ve taken
To know him personally was a privilege not to be taken lightly; he’d hit you with that smile that always said everything his words didn’t
he supported me in and outside the nightlife
we’d still text each other on our birthdays since they were 11 days apart
I was always welcome wherever his venue was located and
jazz guitarist: “One of the first times I heard Scott play was back in the heyday of Cody’s
when he was on bass and vocals with Paul English’s incredible band
That group was something special — Paul on piano
Kirk Whalum and Johnny Torres on saxophones
and Scott bringing his unique energy and voice to the mix
Scott held down Wednesday nights at Cody’s in the Village
Scott was making more money that one night than the club owner was making all week
That’s the kind of draw and charisma he had
Scott opened the Skybar at the original Cody’s location on Montrose
and I was honored when he hired my Flamenco Jazz trio to play a Wednesday night series there
We alternated Wednesdays with Joe Carmouche’s excellent trio — great times
He also was the gracious host for the CD release party for my first album
way before Skybar and those Village Cody’s Wednesdays
Scott and I played together at the legendary Blues Jam with Ardis Turner (RIP) at Live Bait on Greenbriar — me on guitar and Scott on bass
“There was a weird kind of synchronicity with Scott — I’d run into him all over Houston
The last time I saw Scott was at the Rhythm Room last year
He was extremely interested in hearing details about some health issues that I had firsthand knowledge about

for the Eldorado area south of Santa Fe about three years ago
Paul Wireman is poised to open a restaurant with a flexible menu that will offer meats and produce from the southern Rocky Mountains and a modern American style of cuisine
The new Fable Restaurant and Market is slated to open its doors in the Agora Shopping Center at 7 Avenida Vista Grande
it will become one of several restaurants in a growing residential area
A sample menu teases a variety of entrees and starters featuring strong regional influences
"We're really trying to be connected to this community
There's definitely a need for some more food choices out here
without having to drive into Santa Fe," Wireman said
"We're just excited to be offering a delicious product to the community."
Wireman is waiting to secure a liquor license before opening the restaurant
which will have the capacity to sit about 60 people indoors
along with an outdoor patio that could hold about 40 people
sandwiches and other goods is already open
We bake focaccia and cookies everyday," Wireman said of the market
from Monday through Friday and offers "grab-and go lunch" each day from 11 a.m
The restaurant aims to have a smaller menu that changes often
The Fable Restaurant and Market will open in the space that was occupied by Arable
"You can come in and have a drink and a casual meal
If you want to have a more elevated experience
we will have those options as well," Wireman said
Wireman has cooked professionally since the early 2000s
He was the co-owner of Trio: An American Bistro in Jackson Hole before opting to move to Lamy with his family a couple of years ago
He was also the co-owner of a modern American steakhouse on the Jackson Hole town square called Local Restaurant & Bar
The Fable Restaurant and Market marks the latest chapter for Wireman
Wireman's family embarked on a road trip across 30 states but kept circling back to the Santa Fe region
lured by the high desert landscapes; his children go to school in Eldorado
He characterized the restaurant as a family operation
will play a role in the front of the house and develop the restaurant's wine list
while a friend from Jackson Hole will help lead the restaurant's kitchen
An application for the restaurant received by Santa Fe County related to the liquor license request seeks to define what the sensibility of the restaurant will be
"The menu will feature local produce and proteins sourced directly from the farms and ranchers of the southern Rocky Mountains
we are proud to work with small family farms and feature specialty items grown in fresh mountain soil,” states the application
Other culinary options in the Eldorado area include Upper Crust Pizza Eldorado
Taste of Maggie's Cocina and Fusion Tacos El Dorado
Entrees included on a sample menu for the Fable Restaurant and Market include beef filet
priced at $42; red chile beef short ribs with scallion gnocchi and Tucumcari cotija cheese
priced at $32; and a summer vegetable pasta
A burger is priced at $18 on the sample menu
The interior of the restaurant features a green motif on the walls as well as faux brick — "farmhouse meets modern," Wireman said
What: The market side of the Fable Restaurant & Market is now operating
The restaurant is expected to open in the coming weeks
The restaurant plans to be open from 4:30 p.m

What you’re staring at is a 1999 Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe
it’s a one-of-a-kind creation known as the “EldoRODo,” and it’s been extensively reworked by Chuck Lombardo of California Street Rods for GM
this custom masterpiece changed hands for $55,000
The vehicle was owned by Tyler Hoovies of Hoovies Garage, who bought it back in 2023. It appears he had it in his possession for at least a few weeks before the listing, as it was featured in one of his videos where he talks about his tax bill
It’s unclear whether Hoovies sold it via proxy or if someone else bought it and resold it
Let’s just say, calling this a “modified” Eldorado would be an understatement
The changes are so far-reaching that it barely resembles the original Touring Coupe
a new steeply raked windshield has been installed
and the body has undergone serious custom work
Watch: Quirky Cadillac EldoRODo Concept Is An Extra-Smooth Celebration Of Hot Rod Culture
The front end of the special show car features a pair of tiny headlights
and that theme continues as you move along the sides of the car
aided by the fact that there are no door handles or wing mirrors
The rear is equally as simple with tinted vertical taillights and custom vertical tailpipes with a chrome finish
A set of 18-inch wheels has also been fitted
Inside, things are mostly standard Eldorado Touring Coupe fare
with light-colored leather trimming the cabin
The car also comes equipped with a Bose audio system
and a few small pieces of carbon fiber trim
but certainly not what you’d call over-the-top
delivering 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque
while the car might look like it’s ready to conquer the streets in a completely different way
the performance side of things stays comfortably stock
This unique Cadillac was sold through Bring a Trailer and
will end up in a collection or displayed in a museum somewhere
it doesn’t appear to be road-registerable
so don’t expect to see it tearing up the streets anytime soon
Whenever I looked out over the massive hood of my 1967 Eldorado
it seemed big enough to double as a helicopter landing pad
that car was somewhat smaller and lighter than its “full-size” Cadillac stablemates
cavernous cabin could comfortably accommodate the starting five of a college basketball team (guards in back) and its top sixth-man sub
what in the world was I doing with such a huge
I owed the decision to General Motors’ Styling Vice President William L
who at the time was paying me to write his speeches
along with nasty letters to magazines that dared to criticize his work
He wanted someone “with gasoline in his veins” to be writing his stuff
and I was very fortunate to have been recommended for that role by friend and ace author Karl Ludvigsen
Karl had been Mitchell’s writer while working for GM years before but couldn’t do it again
and I started working with him on a semi-regular basis
It provided a great opportunity and good pay for a fledgling freelance auto writer
and I got to know that tough but legendary design leader fairly well
But because he told GM PR he was writing his own stuff
The ’67 Eldorado came up during one meeting in Mitchell’s office
when we were discussing his career and the designs of which he was especially proud
He called that Eldorado one of his “personal favorites” and said he liked it better than the Olds Toronado and (Gen 2) Buick Riviera with which it shared its E-body platform and the Toro’s front-wheel-drive architecture
I did some research and fell in love with its movie-star looks
it might be a good car to own. It might even appreciate in value as a future collectible
low-miles example in Florida when I was there covering the 1976 Daytona 24-Hour sports car enduro
the Cadillac was no sports car but it was quiet
and surprisingly pleasing on the road despite its hefty size and weight
It also seemed solid and reliable for a car then approaching 10 years of age
That eighth-generation Fleetwood Eldorado was a radical departure from the big
the Eldorado that followed a year later was not only Cadillac’s first front-driver but also its first “personal luxury” coupe
The ’67 Eldorado was also the first Cadillac to be built on its own separate assembly line
at the marque’s assembly plant on Clark St
It was late 1959 when a select group of GM engineers started development of what would become GM’s first front-wheel-drive system
then called the “Unit Power Package.” Harold G
greenlighted preliminary work on a very special Cadillac and acknowledged that the proposed front-drive package was an interesting possibility for such a car
Mitchell oversaw and guided this Cadillac’s crisp
which sets the ’67 Eldorado so far apart from the Riviera and Toronado that one has a hard time believing they share the same architecture
Mitchell’s Cadillac stylists began with concepts that could accomodate either front- or rear-wheel drive
Two more versions followed before the front-drive system was approved in 1963 and a fourth model (XP-784) built to incorporate it
was enjoying good acceptance in the marketplace
and the ‘66 Toronado was taking shape in the Oldsmobile studio
But Cadillac wanted something distinctly different from both of those corporate rivals as well as from Ford’s Thunderbird
which had created the personal-luxury genre by growing rear seats in 1958
According to German Cadillac collector and historian Gerald Loidl (The History of the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado)
“Management then settled on front-wheel drive for a new “personal” Cadillac
and further prototypes evolved with that in mind
Cadillac considered calling the car LaSalle but ultimately chose Eldorado as a name with higher recognition.”
with razor-edge lines and formal roof treatment
was essentially the final production design
“Ed Taylor and Don Ropper were the principal designers of the ‘67 Eldorado in Stan Parker’s Cadillac studio,” designer David North related to Loidl
“The XP-825 V-16 Cadillac was a personal project of Bill Mitchell
It was done in Ned Nickels’ advanced studio by Ned and [myself]
Both Ed Taylor and [I] were the assistant chief designers in both the Oldsmobile and the Cadillac studios at different times during the 1960s
Ed and I worked on two outstanding GM cars … the ‘66 Toronado for Olds and the ‘67 Eldorado for Cadillac
The Toro was a fast program in the studios
but the Eldorado had many starts between 1960 and the finished car.”
Cadillac designers were on the right track
Their model’s most striking features were the sharply creased rear fenders
whose trailing edges protruded above the deck and beyond the bumper
and whose profiles extended forward into a downward swoop just aft of the quarter windows
A convertible version was fashioned from the same design
but it and other ideas were ultimately discarded
the studio had settled on the XP-825 design
and a highly detailed fiberglass model was shown to corporate and Cadillac executives in May 1964
In the speech we were crafting back in 1976
Mitchell called the ’67 Eldo a “classic” car
“The only disagreement I have with the Eldorado
I think this type of car should have stayed the size of the original Riviera
is almost identical to the present Monte Carlo and Grand Prix
I know we are going to return to this size.”
Cadillac positioned this new front-wheel-drive “personal luxury” coupe as a replacement for the previous-generation Eldorado convertible that perpetuated the prestigious model name
“The new Eldorado is distinguished as the only car in the world offering the mutually complementary features of front-wheel drive
and automatic level control as standard equipment,” said an introductory press release on September 30
This was the first Cadillac with its headlamps that were concealed behind movable covers
and its rear passenger windows slid rearward into the wide rear roof (C) pillar instead of downward into the body
One good reason why the engine compartment and that hood above it were so large was that the car was considered early in its development as a candidate for an overhead-cam V-12 (or even V-16) engine
and because any Eldorado required Cadillac power
the brand’s 340-hp 429-cubic-inch V-8—upgraded for ’67 and modified for front-wheel drive—was mated to the Toronado’s innovative front-wheel-drive system
output from the engine flowed through a torque converter
then—via a Morse inverted-tooth “Hy-Vo” silent chain—to a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission mounted next to the engine that drove the differential just ahead of it
which distributed torque to both front axles
“Cadillac’s high-performance 340 horsepower V-8 engine is improved with a completely new valvetrain and Quadrajet carburetor,” the release continued
“Exterior changes [for FWD] include new oil pan
accessory belt drive and all-new engine mounting system… The suspension design incorporates a torsion bar system in front
a drop-center axle and four shock absorbers are used for the rear
The exhaust system uses dual pipes from engine to rear axle and a single outlet pipe to resonator and tailpipe
Front disc brakes are offered … as an extra charge option.”
this new Eldorado received the first several items from Washington’s lengthy list of mandatory safety equipment: energy-absorbing steering wheel and column
redesigned and well-padded interior features and controls
flat floor provided uncommon roominess front and rear
the instrument panel and controls were “sensibly and tastefully” arranged
and the huge glove box could store a fair-sized picnic lunch
said then-Cadillac general manager Calvin J Werner: “Eldorado is a distinctive nameplate historically given only to the division’s specially luxurious cars
The word itself refers to an imaginary South American Kingdom of fabulous wealth
Eldorado means gold—and the golden cars of the Eldorado era rightly deserved the name
From the first Eldorado sports convertible in 1953 to the 1967 Fleetwood Eldorado
they have been a breed apart from the regular Cadillac line.”
added: “Throughout the development of the Eldorado
Cadillac engineers had in mind that this car had to be exceptional or there was no use in producing it… it was not to be just another car.” It was well received in the market despite its high starting price (including delivery) of $6277
nearly three times the total of the previous (’66) Eldorado
My ‘67 Eldorado became a media star when I wrote about it for the June 1981 Car Exchange magazine
then it was photographed by talented photographer Roy Query for a February 1982 Special Interest Autos feature by Cadillac historian Maurice Hendry. “Buick was originally to share the fwd design
and all three makes were to announce it simultaneously in 1966,” Hendry wrote
“But Buick decided to retain orthodox rear drive for the Riviera
and Cadillac felt the package needed more development
Hendry offered the following driving impressions: “At moderate speeds
the car handles like its rear-drive brothers
sometimes even jiggly—more like a Mercedes
It has automatic self-leveling at the rear
un-sprung weight is actually lower than independent-rear-suspension rear drives
It corners flatter and more surely than any other Cadillac you’ve driven
although the car is not at its best in a ‘slalom’ maneuver
probably because of the forward mass distribution
directional stability and resistance to crosswinds is excellent.”
Other enthusiast magazines weighed in: “Most luxurious personal car on the road,” Motor Trend gushed
almost razor-sharp lines aroused admiration everywhere.” Car and Driver accurately dissed the car’s poor-performing four-wheel drum brakes but “found our test car to be impeccably assembled with the kind of panel fit and paint work that stands up against the best that Stuttgart … can produce.” A second C/D test car with the optional front discs stopped much better “with vastly improved directional stability.”
Automobile Quarterly chose the ‘67 Eldorado for special recognition
granting the car its prestigious Design and Engineering Excellence Award
only the third time the magazine had given such an award and the first time staff had bestowed it upon a production car
“All of the traditional characteristics of front-wheel-drive cars
have been totally eliminated in the Eldorado,” the magazine observed
“Cadillac’s variable-ratio steering imparts a nimbleness and agility that makes their cars feel much smaller than they are
and the excellent automatic leveling system completely eliminates the pitching and heaving that most cars display when heavily laden…
We think it is the most outstanding automobile in both design and engineering introduced for 1967.”
For my June 1981 Car Exchange story
I interviewed then-Cadillac assistant chief engineer Loren R
“The program started at Engineering Staff,” he said
“Ed Cole had just become group vice president
and he was very instrumental in getting it going
they were building transverse-engine installations … a packaging nightmare
To take a large V-8 engine and mount it transversely
you could barely get it into a car that was 80 inches wide and had to have extremely wide treads
Then it worked around to the transmission … with the driveshaft under it and the silent chain
and Buick were very much interested in the program and pushing it right along,” he related
It was planned to be a joint introduction date—Riviera
But then Buick elected to go rear-wheel drive
‘Let’s go ahead and let Olds introduce it
then we will come out a year later.’ It was a tough job to get the road isolation and the ride smoothness that we thought was necessary for Cadillac
The fun part of it was the tremendous driving capabilities the car had in snow and wet weather
As for mine, it eventually had to go. I still had my beloved ’70 1/2 Camaro
was test-driving press vehicles most of the time
so I advertised it in Hemmings in May 1982: “Beautiful aqua
priced to sell at $3,850 (this is test and photo car for February 1982 Special Interest Autos).” Some other low-mileage
excellent condition ’67 Eldos were going for $5000 or more
and I don’t recall what I finally got for mine
But I did find it another good home with a Cadillac-loving friend of my future wife’s brother
This and the 63 Riv were two of his best designs
I agree the Eldo would have been better the size of the Riv
I did like the short Toronado 2 seater Bill drove too
I often wondered how much of the 4 rendered Farkle influenced the Eldorado or did it influence the Farkle
The phots are in Gary Deans Smith book Deans Garage
Nothing like a smoking burnout to show off the massive torque of the FWD caddy
my name is Thomas Wernet and I own Bill Mitchells real 1967 Cadillac Eldorado
for the real story call me thanks 651-457-1613
I think also this car was much been much better with no vinyl top
The Olds Toronado originally was ruled not to have a vinyl top till Bill Mitchell saw dealers were putting them on
To me that is what sets the 63-65 Riv appart as the roof is more sculptured
and Happy Holidays to all my fellow gearheads
This is so much better than the SUV “wagons” that everyone wants to build today
Interesting comment about the weight being nearly 4700 lb as that is half the weight of a new Hummer EV
I had forgotten how light these cars are compared to the bloated rigs that are driving around today
I too had an Eldorado only 1968 and no vinyl top
It was a beautiful blue automobile with blue interior
Sometime in the 1970s it got parked in the garage
Every time I go to drive it something would have gone wrong
I got tired of watching it slowly designate
I own a black 1978 with white interior anyone in the market
When I first got my license I was driving my dads 63 Riviera
I beat up on both those cars for a number of years
What I remember about that Eldo was You put your leg in it and it would Torqe up and the front end would raise and.It was hard to See over that long hood..did good burnouts
Still one of the best visual designs of the 1960’s – or of any era
SO much better-looking than the Toronado of that era
If only they built an Eldorado now at about 85% the size
and with modern mechanicals (including suspension design)
those days are gone – over a long time ago
A first-gen Eldo appeared in the movie “Secretariat”
and only Secretariat himself was more impressive

On Monday the 22nd of April, British climber Hamish McArthur successfully made the second ascent of Megatron, in Colorado’s Eldorado Canyon. The boulder, which was first climbed by Shawn Raboutou in 2022
is graded V17 (Font 9A) - making it a contender for the hardest boulder problem in the world
McArthur spent his first two sessions figuring out the individual moves of the problem
before starting to make real attempts from the ground on his third day
After making it past the crux of the boulder and falling
everything clicked into place and McArthur topped-out on Megatron at the end of only his fifth session
The astonishingly fast repeat comes on the back of a whirlwind nine months for Hamish
which began with his fifth-place finish at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games
Following his outstanding performance in Paris
McArthur has been enjoying an extended break from the competition circuit and spending more time rock climbing
In the past few months he has made several notable boulder ascents
including a flash ascent of Fool Me Once (V14) and a repeat of The Singularity (V15)
After his repeat the Brit commented: "I came to Colorado for rest and freedom
What attracted me to Megatron was its unique style and the opportunity it offered for creative expression
I knew that the mental battle was going to be a big part of my success or failure here
The boulder offers consistent difficulty and is still so droppable on the last moves. 17 moves off the deck and I’m now trying to figure out how I got here
I’m really proud to have grabbed the second ascent of Megatron
This is McArthur's hardest boulder to date
having sent the 8C+ Big Z in December 2024

the Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) made the inaugural award in a Landscape Grant Pilot Program to the Healthy Eldorado Landscape Partnership’s (HELP) Crystal Basin Project
The pilot grant seeks to align state and federal funding sources into one
larger grant and create efficiencies for funders and grantees alike
The hope is grants of this nature will help increase the pace and scale of forest restoration to meet California’s wildfire crisis at the scale of modern megafires that burn across larger landscapes
Restoring a large landscape requires more than just a lot of funding
and knowledge to turn that money into meaningful work on the ground
To select our first landscape grant recipient SNC looked across our service area for local partners with the capacity to do just that
and the results were extremely encouraging—while there could be only one inaugural award
there were at least 10 Sierra-Cascade landscapes ready to make good use of landscape-scale funding
and the US Forest Service awarded the inaugural pilot landscape grant to HELP’s Crystal Basin Project in June 2023
it brings together proven implementation partners to do urgent work in the Crystal Basin
an area that is home to immense carbon stores and treasured recreation sites
making its restoration a top priority for both state and federal funding partners
and the US Forest Service committed $10 million
meeting nearly half of the estimated $23 million needed to complete shovel-ready
wildfire-resilience projects in the Crystal Basin over the next 5-10 years
Those funds support a strategic portfolio of fuel reduction and recreation infrastructure improvements in the Crystal Basin
a scenic island of green forest and mountain lakes in the Eldorado National Forest that is surrounded by large
high-severity burn areas created by the 2014 King Fire and 2021 Caldor Fire
As a result of this catalyst funding, HELP is already seeing early, unanticipated successes
While the acceleration of forest-resilience work in a critical landscape was an expected outcome of the Landscape Grant Pilot Program, a good, but unexpected outcome was the identification of at least nine other Sierra-Cascade landscapes that are also ready to get to work at the landscape-scale
Faced with escalating climate and wildfire crises
communities across the Sierra-Cascade are uniting behind shared landscape-specific visions of resilience
these visions are driving the formation of broad-based
land-management collaboratives that are adopting clear strategic approaches
supported by a portfolio of shovel-ready and planning projects
to restore resilience across a large landscape
At least 10 are now ready to rapidly turn large amounts of funding into meaningful change on the ground
The SNC believes in meeting its Regional partners where they are. This means that we support forest- and wildfire-resilience efforts in a variety of ways that are tailored to meet the diversity of needs throughout our large service area. We invest in every phase of the life of forest and wildfire resilience projects
while providing organization-building resources and technical assistance to partners doing work on the ground
Our end goal is to help partners build a pipeline of ready projects
An infusion of funding from a series of Department of Conservation block grants to administer the Regional Forest and Fire Capacity Program in the Sierra-Cascade has increased capacity-building grants to support collaboration and planning at a larger scale
this will result in many more organizations that will be ready to implement much-needed restoration work across larger landscapes once funding has been secured
On the eastside of the Sierra Nevada, community leaders have planned, permitted, partially funded, and begun work, on a landscape scale “donut” of resilience surrounding Mammoth Lakes
Support from the SNC began with a neighborhood fuel-reduction project
and expanded to support collaborative planning and coordination needs as local ambitions
The SNC’s role in supporting landscape-scale work in Sierra County also began with an implementation grant
helped to bring together the North Yuba Forest Partnership
created a restoration plan for the entire North Yuba Watershed
the North Yuba Forest Partnership secured $160 million in federal funding that is poised to dramatically improve wildfire and forest resilience
Similarly, the SNC began working with the Amador Calaveras Consensus Group and the Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Authority (UMWRA) shortly after the 2013 Rim Fire inspired a newfound focus on forest health. This support has taken many forms as it has steadily planned, built internal capacity, and secured funding that has UMRWA poised to restore roughly 250,000 acres of the Mokelumne River watershed
and grant-writing assistance to partners throughout our service area
This combination of funding and technical assistance is how the SNC helps to forge the know-how and working relationships needed to tackle resilience at a landscape level

The eighth-generation Cadillac Eldorado is the car I picture when I hear the word “Eldorado,” often shouted at the top of someone’s lungs in a tone that wavers between mournful and reverential. To me, this Eldorado
is the archetypal Eldorado — the platonic ideal
This was the first front-wheel-drive Cadillac
based on the amazing Oldsmobile Toronado platform
It also had rear quarter windows that opened like no other car I can think of
but not a small two-door — we’re talking a two-door with doors the size of kitchen islands and the ability to comfortably seat six non-waifish people
this was a FWD car with no need for a driveshaft and its associated hump
Maybe “huge” isn’t the right word
because that just implies some sort of all-over bulk
The Eldorado carried its size and mass in places designed to maximize drama
Just look at the initial clay models for the car that would become the Eldorado
Dear lord, look at that thing! It looks like someone swabbed the inside of Syd Mead‘s cheek with a Q-Tip
after a month of carefully tending and soaking in gin
The production car wasn’t quite that dramatic
big enough to let a kids’ soccer team practice on it
housed the amazing Toronado-derived FWD drivetrain
but with a longitudinally-mounted engine specific to Cadillac
a 429 cubic-inch V8 (that’s over 7 liters!) making 340 horsepower and sending its power in a sort of U-shape to the transaxle mounted next to it:
It’s a pretty incredible layout; transverse FWD setups would soon make this sort of thing pretty much extinct
but let’s just take a moment to appreciate the madness of it all…
let’s try to get back to my main point here
which has to do with the design of the car
and since we’re talking about those massive doors
I have to point out something incredible: If you were in the back seat
you weren’t dependent on the whims of whoever was sitting up front to open those massive doors
That’s because each door had two door opening handles
one for the front seat passengers and en extra one for the rear:
You may also notice in that picture there is a little window switch on the armrest
or in the 1967 Eldo (the one up there is a ’69)
to open and close that tiny sliver of window near the rear
It’s so small you wouldn’t think it’d do much for ventilation – and
it damn well better have A/C – but it’s more about this:
You cant have that if there’s a little chunk of glass messing up the look
And that’s where we get to the unique bit
Because look at where that window is; it’s right above where the door meets the body
If it rolls down like a conventional window
where the hell are you going to put the glass in there
It doesn’t look like there’s room
See that? The glass retracts rearward, into the C-pillar! Amazing! Here it is again, this time powered, courtesy of YouTube channel Rare Classic Cars & Automotive History:
Maybe there is another – the automotive universe is so vast there likely is – but I can’t find one so far
mostly so it wouldn’t stab you when you got into the car
but it does show Cadillac had some experience with rearward-sliding windows
But back to the 8th-gen Eldo’s windows: it’s just such an incredible little detail
and somehow it fits with the whole tone and feel of the car – elegant and powerful and unexpected
In case you weren’t aware of this before
I hope your life is a little improved for knowing about it now

🙂 This was in the nineties and I daily drove a 1970 Eldorado in Firemist Red
4bbl Quadrajet Rochester carb and Borg-Warner chain drive
Front torsion bar suspension and mono-leaf rear
Red interior with front bucket seats and red plush carpet
but cruising on Friday nights meant refueling Friday and again on Saturday
My neighbor bought a 40 Ford 2 dr sedan as a project (we were in high school)
It was someone’s abandoned project w/a 283 Chevy under the hood
I remember one of the cool features was; the rear windows rolled down into the body like a normal sedan
but if you kept winding the handle as the window rolled up in its channel
it would retract about 3”’into the C pillar for ventilation w/o the buffeting associated w/ the lowered glass
didn’t it also contribute to the most anticlimactic car chase start scene in movie history 😀
https://youtu.be/e_9c1bzwJQs?t=149
and the thingie trying to escape the flamethrower in MadMax 2 are the most “This feels wrong” wheelspin scenes in my book
https://youtu.be/yFvqj8hJaS4?t=126
the exemplary Eldorado is a 59 in pink with a ragtop down
I have 1/18 Maisto diecast model of it since I was 10
I still think this is the most outstanding production car ever made
although later models surely were more elegant
The concept reminds me of the boat from that one TV show with Hulk Hogan
I actually did feel my life improve ever so slightly,thanks Jason
The 1956 Imperial four door hardtop rear quarter windows rotated forward and down moving to the inside of the door window to give that nice hardtop look
The 1960 Cadillac Brougham four door hardtop (the only style) had a rear quarter window that went down a couple of inches allowing the rear doors to open
One of my favorite Cadillac designs of all time
Was watching an episode of Columbo recently that featured one of these as the baddies car
My 67 Riv has those rear interior door handles too
probably near impossible to drive anywhere
and compared to my current cars would be utterly impractical
It’s only about the same footprint as a daily driver spec pickup (I
for one would prefer to see suburbia littered with stuff like this Eldorado instead)
Not to mention ever-increasing height of the front end amongst latest pick-up trucks…
The real story about these Helldorados is the engines
The 429 had 340 horses and 480 foot-pounds or torque
In ’70 the 500 CID monster arrived with 400 hp and a tire gobbling 550 ft-lb
The 500 was a straight up beast… and honestly
One might surmise that many a two-martini lunch went into making that decision
IRS changed the rules in the late 1980s for the business expense so it went from three to two…
Confirmed – I had an old Caddy with the 472
I drove my grandfather to doctor appointments in and eventually inherited his Gen 2 Toronado
Your writing style is incredibly entertaining and infectious
The front doors had wind out quarter vent windows
But you could also roll the whole thing down
with the Clean Energy Coalition of Santa Fe County
the project developer for the AES Rancho Viejo solar project
Wednesday during a public hearing at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center
Claudia Nelson of Eldorado takes notes during a presentation by Joshua Mayer
during a public hearing on the proposed Rancho Viejo Solar Project
listens to a presentation by Joshua Mayer of AES during a public hearing on the proposed Rancho Viejo Solar Project
answers questions at a public hearing last month about the Rancho Viejo Solar development
3 Planning Commission meeting on the project will be to address statements made by a hearing officer and to show the strength of its fire suppression system
A Wednesday hearing on a solar and battery storage development proposed near Eldorado was dominated by foes of the project
Well over 100 people packed into a meeting room in downtown Santa Fe on Wednesday to register their opposition to a proposed solar power and battery storage development near Eldorado
let’s band together against this potential environmental disaster in what is clearly a fight for our lives,” Patricia Sill
an Eldorado resident who drew a heavy round of applause
said at Wednesday’s Santa Fe County land use hearing
is proposing the high-profile and ambitious Rancho Viejo Solar project
which has drawn considerable scrutiny as concerns about fires from lithium battery storage linger
But proponents have said it could play a major role in the state’s efforts to curb climate change
“This project can produce the equivalent of the entire residential load of Santa Fe,” Joshua Mayer
this represents 1% of getting to that 100% [clean energy] goal by 2045.”
the hearing dragged on in the Santa Fe Community Convention Center until around 5 p.m
as a hearing officer prepares to make a recommendation to the county’s Planning Commission
The project is moving through the county’s conditional use permit process
“We are opposed to this project on several legal grounds
Specifically it will be a detriment to the health
It will create a potential hazard for fire and panic,” said Catherine Babbitt of the Clean Energy Coalition of Santa Fe County
a group with about 1,200 members who oppose the project
“The only thing green about their project is the money they hope to extract from the citizens of New Mexico,” said Lee Zlotoff of the Clean Energy Coalition
calling the project “corporate profit at our expense.”
the hearing officer assigned to the conditional use permit application
will make a written recommendation before the end of the month to the county’s Planning Commission
The panel could then make a decision on Rancho Viejo as early as February
So the high stakes of the Wednesday hearing were obvious to all
even if no real revelations emerged about the project or the positions of locals
tensions came to the fore when Mayer argued the development would not impact residential property values
a source of concern for those who live near the project
Cynical laughter rang out from the audience
comprised largely of older people who live in the Eldorado and San Marcos areas
the hearing officer urged the crowd to stop applauding speakers who slammed the project on multiple occasions
Aiming to generate 96 megawatts of power and roughly 45 megawatts of battery storage at a site about two miles east of N.M
the project would cover 680 acres of a roughly 800-acre parcel and include a solar facility
a 3-acre battery storage system and a 2.3-mile generation line
The target customer would be Public Service Company of New Mexico
maintain they support the transition to clean energy but have concerns about AES and the project
including about past fires at AES facilities such as in Chandler
“What I think is missing in all of this is this is not a normal fire
These are chemical fires that we worry about
“They can cause a chain reaction called a thermal runaway fire
which has happened a few times in the last few years.”
it could really be a massive nightmare,” Welch added
But AES officials have characterized the project as a “moonshot” for New Mexico
The officials have sought to assuage concerns about the project
“This project will allow Santa Fe County to be a leader,” said Mayer
“This project is located in one of the lowest wildfire categories for Santa Fe County,” Mayer said Wednesday
showing images that he said “exemplify the very low amount of vegetation that is in this area.”
Ashton Thornhill called the project a major concern for those who live in the area in terms of insurances costs as well as property and home values
“They are just saying this is a fire area,” Thornhill said of insurance companies
While it would seem many have views that are entrenched on the matter
attended Wednesday’s hearing with an open mind
noted it seemed as if many of the opponents of the project were around her age
with communities south of Santa Fe such as Eldorado being home to many retirees
“I want to hear the facts,” Van Sickle said
“I think what will be most interesting besides the facts are these older people getting up and being activists like they were in the ’60s.”
PNM is seeking approval for new renewable and gas generation projects that
will meet projections for higher electricity demand in the years to come
The integrated resource plan PNM recently filed requests approval for three new solar and battery storage projects as well as an extension of a contract with a natural gas power plant for more than 10 years
The plan will require approval by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission
PNM’s plan does not include mention of Rancho Viejo
Although AES initially expressed plans for the project to begin operation in 2026
the estimated date has been steadily pushed back amid a battle that has spilled into the courts
“Past selection or non-selection is irrelevant to a future procurement,” Mayer said after this was raised during public comment
They may or may not select this project in the next [request for proposals].”
Santa Fe County residents still fearful sprawling solar and battery storage project would pose "fire risk" and "explosion risk."
A bitter fight between county residents and AES Corp
over a proprosed solar and battery facility is set to resume in the coming months
The 30-acre parcel is next to the Santa Fe Rail Trail and about a mile south of Avenida Eldorado
A consultant told the County Commission the emergency operations document has not been updated since 2007
But officials say preparations have been undertaken
A nonprofit organized by residents will be able to argue for full release of public records about the Rancho Viejo Solar project
Many residents implored the county to require sufficient detail from AES to properly review the large-scale project
Residents of communities south of Santa Fe have said lithium-ion battery storage is risky
but a Sandia lab scientist says failure rate for cells is 1 in 10 million
As the Rancho Viejo Solar project continues to generate opposition
Sandoval County residents have a fight of their own
Marco Rodriguez points out sections on a map of Eldorado for volunteers to canvass Monday in the search effort for his stepfather
Jose Orozco-Montijo was last seen Friday walking on Torneo Road in Eldorado
Almost 100 people took part in a search for Jose Orozco-Montijo
who wandered away from his home in the community Friday afternoon
Snow flurries began to fall Monday afternoon as several people made their way into the Eldorado Community Center
but some had traveled an hour or more to help search for 80-year-old Jose Orozco-Montijo
There was still no sign of him by Monday evening
as another night of deadly cold temperatures set in
despite dozens of people joining the effort to find him
about 50 people had volunteered to join parties searching the area for Orozco-Montijo
in addition to 45 people taking part in a mission with several New Mexico search and rescue groups
The Eldorado Community Center was transformed into an incident command post
with a handful of people in bright orange jackets
stood over a map of Eldorado inside the center
directing a volunteer to distribute flyers along a stretch of Avenida de Compadres
to knock doors and to look in culverts and patio areas
but he is in “good physical health” and only speaks Spanish
Orozco-Montijo lives with his daughter in Eldorado
Rodriguez said more than a dozen family members
descended on the community south of Santa Fe in recent days to join the search effort
“We’ve been getting a lot of people who are ready to help — a lot of people who are very empathetic,” Rodriguez said
and they’re not afraid that it’s cold outside.”
hopes among the searchers for finding Orozco-Montijo alive had receded
including several nights with extreme cold warnings from the National Weather Service
The low temperature forecast by the national agency for Monday night was 1 degree Fahrenheit
He was believed to be wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt when he disappeared
according to a Silver Alert issued Saturday by New Mexico State Police
said her uncle had slipped out of the house in the past
While family members were receiving a lot of support in the search effort Monday
Orozco said they had received very little help Sunday
She asked for any volunteers who were available Tuesday to “please help look.”
Crews from eight different search and rescue groups from around the region were deployed Saturday evening and again Monday afternoon to search for Orozco-Montijo
Rodriguez understood the value of people volunteering to help search
He and his wife had taken part in the search last year for an elderly woman who went missing from an senior living facility on the south side of Santa Fe
Searchers found the body of 98-year-old Esther Barnes about a half-mile from Las Soleras Senior Living in March 2024
Rodriguez contacted Tangerine Bolen — who also had assisted in the search for Barnes — to help organize the search for Orozco-Montijo on Sunday
Bolen said the volunteer search crew expanded Monday from about 15 people in the morning to 50 in the afternoon
The search response for Orozco-Montijo showed improvement over the one for Barnes
but she believes there should be changes made to the state’s Silver Alert system
to fix “loopholes” that create the risk of losing precious hours in a search for a missing elderly person
“We need to imbue this process with a much higher sense of urgency for every family who could lose a family member like this,” she said
“We don’t want this to happen to anyone again
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said deputies took the report for Orozco-Montijo on Saturday
and several deputies searched the area “the best they could” before contacting state police to issue the Silver Alert
it is our job to do what we can — search the areas
and sometimes you locate them shortly after,” Mendoza said
the commander makes a decision to activate search and rescue
who then activate search and rescue crews for a search
Bolen said she joined the family in calling the sheriff’s office Sunday to ask for more help and for search and rescue crews to return
She noted state crews were never activated to search for Barnes last year because “they didn’t think they needed to.”
“Elderly people with cognitive deficits are as vulnerable as children in many ways,” she said
pointing out the protocols for the Amber Alert system for missing kids are more urgent than those for the Silver Alert
“I feel like we’re failing our elderly citizens in New Mexico
after being involved in this twice now in one year,” she said
Family members have not found Jose Orozco-Montijo
who has been missing from his Eldorado home for more than four days
Lawmakers are considering a handful of bills related to Silver Alerts

Family members of Jose Orozco-Montijo said despite a massive search effort Monday
was last seen Friday afternoon walking on a street near his home in Eldorado
About 100 people had taken part in a search for Orozco-Montijo
including volunteers and search and rescue groups from around the state that used drones
Search and rescue crews had also been deployed Saturday night to search
who moved to the area from Gómez Farías in Chihuahua
said Tuesday that family members felt like they had hit a “dead end” in their search
and they no longer believe her grandfather is in Eldorado
Some family members have begun to look for him in Santa Fe
In spite of the large coordinated effort Monday with dozens of volunteers
there have been no leads in the search for Orozco-Montijo
who had been missing for four days — including some of the coldest nights the area has seen this winter
Search and rescue groups were not likely to return to continue the search
Orozco and another woman who has helped to organize the search for her grandfather
said there are “gaps” in the public safety response to missing elderly people
A Silver Alert was not issued by New Mexico State Police until Orozco called them and asked for such a notification
Bolen and Orozco believe the state’s Silver Alerts should be distributed to people more urgently — perhaps as emergency text messages the same way Amber Alerts for missing children are issued
and when I posted on [the social media site] NextDoor
that’s when a lot of people in the neighborhood were asking me if I had done a Silver Alert
if I had reached out to search and rescue,” Orozco said
I had never been in a situation like this before.”
Orozco-Montijo’s family members called the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office at 8:30 a.m
but search and rescue crews were not deployed in Eldorado until about 12 hours later
losing time they believe could have been critical to finding him
but they returned to search for about seven hours Monday
Orozco said her family members will continue to search
She said a unique feature of her grandfather’s is his eyes are different colors
Orozco-Montijo cannot see out of his left eye
which appears as light blue while his right eye is brown
“I feel like that is important information
because you’re just not going to see a lot of people with only one working eye,” she said
2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado”
the “Company” or “We”) is pleased to announce the results of an updated Technical Report for the Lamaque Complex1 (“Lamaque Complex Technical Report”)
including an updated life-of-mine (“LOM”) plan based on Mineral Reserves from Triangle
Ormaque and Parallel (the “Reserve Case”) and a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) extended LOM plan primarily2 based on Inferred Mineral Resources (“Inferred Resources”) from Triangle and Ormaque (the “PEA Case”)
The Reserve Case outlines an 8-year mine life producing 1.2 million ounces of gold
while the PEA Case shows the potential to extend mine life incrementally by 9 years and incremental gold production of 1.5 million ounces
The Lamaque Complex Technical Report has been filed on SEDAR+
Lamaque Complex Technical Report Highlights
Table 1 summarizes key metrics for the Reserve Case and PEA Case from the Lamaque Complex Technical Report which are based on the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates that are shown in Appendix A
1 The Lamaque Complex includes the Triangle
and the Sigma Mill (see Figure 2).2 The PEA case includes a non-material amount of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (< 2%).3 These are forward looking non-IFRS measures or ratios
Refer to the section “Forward-Looking Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures and Ratios” for explanations and discussions of these non-IFRS financial measures or ratios
The PEA Case is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves and there is no certainty that the forecast production amounts will be realized
The basis for the PEA and the qualifications and assumptions made by the qualified persons who undertook the PEA are set out in the advisories contained in this news release
The results of the PEA had no impact on the results of any prefeasibility or feasibility study in respect of the Lamaque Complex
Maximizes installed capacity of plant and infrastructure with two mining centres
along with extensive infrastructure both on surface and underground
can be maximized with the addition of a paste plant and additional tailings capacity to bring the Ormaque deposit into production
Strong collaboration and support from the Val-d’Or communities
We expect a transparent and predictable regulatory environment
reflective of Québec being a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction
Significant exploration potential to grow Mineral Resources in existing deposits
The Ormaque deposit remains open at depth and laterally both in the upper and lower sections of the deposit
The Triangle deposit remains open at depth and we continue to drill Plug No
4 and other advanced targets on the property
under-explored land package in the Val d’Or area
The Company continues to assess exploration opportunities across the Lamaque Complex as well as its 100%-owned Bourlamaque property (contiguous to the Lamaque Complex) and in the wider Abitibi region
“This marks another major milestone for the Lamaque Complex,” said George Burns
we successfully brought the Triangle deposit into commercial production in 2019
and it has since produced nearly one million ounces of gold
With the development of the Ormaque deposit
we will be adding a second underground mine to the Lamaque Complex
which provides operational flexibility and efficiency as we leverage the existing plant and infrastructure
“Ormaque is located just off the existing Triangle–Sigma decline and was discovered through surface drilling in 2019 (see Figure 2 and Figure 3)
An Inferred Mineral Resource was declared in February 2021 and an exploration drift was developed to allow underground conversion drilling of the upper sections of the deposit
A bulk sample of Ormaque material was processed at the Sigma Mill in December and preliminary results are in-line with expectations and support the current Ormaque Mineral Reserves and block model
The second phase of the bulk sample is expected for the second half of 2025
followed by an expected ramp-up phase beginning in 2026
We expect to reach full production in 2028
“The Ormaque and Triangle deposits are located within the prolific Val-d’Or district of the Abitibi
This district hosts the historic Lamaque and Sigma Mines
which collectively produced nearly 10 million ounces of gold
Based on the existing resource base and favorable findings of the report
we maintain an optimistic view of the long-term potential at the Lamaque Complex
strategic position in the Abitibi region and collaborative relationships with First Nations and the local community
long-term benefits for the Val-d’Or region
while continuing to create value for our shareholders.”

Significant Value Creation Since Acquisition
Eldorado acquired the Lamaque Complex in 2017 for total consideration of $430 million4
it has generated over $3005 million of net cash flow and has been one of the Company’s most stable operations
we expect the Lamaque Complex to generate significant value and remain a cornerstone asset for the Company over the next decade and beyond
the Reserve Case generates an after-tax NPV5% of $555 million
while the PEA Case generates an incremental after-tax NPV5% of $623 million
the Reserve Case generates an after-tax NPV5% of $1.1 billion while the PEA Case generates an incremental after-tax NPV5% of $1.1 billion (see Figure 4)
Figure 4: Lamaque Complex track record of value creation since acquisition (US$ million)
4 Acquisition cost is based on headline transaction of C$590 million converted to USD at FX rate of 1.37
5 Net cash flow generated from acquisition to December 31
the Lamaque Complex contained Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (“M&I Resources”) of 1.4 million ounces of gold
Inferred Mineral Resources of 864,000 ounces of gold
the Lamaque Complex has produced nearly one million ounces of gold
while growing Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources significantly (see Figure 5)

Lamaque Complex Planned Drilling and Regional Exploration
Exploration activities will continue at the Lamaque Complex
with a focus on resource conversion drilling at Lower Triangle
as well as testing for extensions at Ormaque and earlier stage targets close to Lamaque Complex infrastructure

ADVISORIES AND DETAILED NOTES ON MINERAL RESERVES AND RESOURCES
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are as of September 30
The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves were classified using logic consistent with the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves (2014) incorporated
into National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”)
and quality assurance and quality control protocols used during exploration drilling programs are consistent with industry standards and independent certified assay labs are used
Mineral Reserves are included in the Mineral Resources
The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are disclosed on a total project basis
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability
With respect to “Inferred Mineral Resources”
there is a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility
It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a “Measured Mineral Resource”
“Indicated Mineral Resource” or “Inferred Mineral Resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category
Unless otherwise noted in this new release
Technical Services Director Lamaque at Eldorado Gold (Québec) Inc.
has approved all scientific and technical information in this news release
Cautionary Note to US Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured
There are differences between the standards and terms used for reporting mineral reserves and resources in Canada
and in the United States pursuant to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”)
indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource are defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining
Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) and the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council
and must be disclosed according to Canadian securities regulations
These standards differ from the requirements of the SEC applicable to domestic United States reporting companies
information contained in this news release with respect to mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the SEC’s reporting and disclosure requirements
Eldorado reports Mineral Reserves in accordance with CIM Definition Standards
Mineral Reserves for the Lamaque Complex – Ormaque

A reserve test is undertaken every year to confirm future undiscounted cash flow from reserve mine plan is positive
Eldorado reports Mineral Resources in accordance with CIM Definition Standards
All Mineral Resources are assessed for reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE)
The Resource cut-off grades or values (e.g
gold equivalent) are determined using a long-term gold price ($1,800/oz) and modifying factors derived in the resource to reserve conversion process (or by comparison to similar projects for our resource-only properties)
These values are then used to create constraining volumes that provide limits to the reported Resources
Resource grades are reported undiluted from within the constraining volumes that satisfy RPEEE
conversion of Resources to Reserves at Ormaque will reflect expected lower grades to fully represent modifying factors associated with mining
Underground Resources were constrained by volumes whose design was guided by a combination of the reporting cut-off grade or value
contiguous areas of mineralization and mineability
Eldorado’s Mineral Resources are inclusive of Reserves
Readers should take care to differentiate the PEA discussed in this news release from the economic analysis for the Lamaque Complex Mineral Reserves
The PEA only demonstrates the potential viability of Inferred Mineral Resources and is not as comprehensive as the economic analysis for the Lamaque Complex Mineral Reserves
precision and confidence in outcomes between the economic analysis for the Lamaque Complex Mineral Reserves and the Lamaque Complex Mineral Resources described in the PEA is significantly different
The PEA is preliminary in nature and is based on numerous assumptions and the incorporation of Inferred Mineral Resources
Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves except as allowed for by National Instrument 43-101 in PEA studies
There is no guarantee that Inferred Mineral Resources can be converted to Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources and
there is no guarantee that the economics described herein will be achieved
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability
The results of the PEA had no impact on the results of any prefeasibility or feasibility study in respect of the Lamaque Complex
Even though the Qualified Person believes that the assumptions made in preparing the PEA are reasonable
many assumptions may be difficult to predict and are beyond our control
Forward-Looking Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Ratios
Certain non-IFRS forward-looking measures related to the Lamaque Complex
and sustaining capital costs are included in this news release
The Company believes that these measures and ratios
in addition to conventional measures and ratios prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company
The non-IFRS and other financial measures and ratios are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures or ratios of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS
These measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS
and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers
With respect to the non-IFRS measures disclosed in this news release
We define total cash costs following the recommendations of the Gold Institute Production Cost Standard
The production cost standard developed by the Gold Institute remains the generally accepted standard of reporting total cash costs of production by gold mining companies
Total cash costs include direct operating costs (including mining
refining and selling costs (including treatment
refining and transportation charges and other concentrate deductions)
share based payments expenses and reclamation costs
Revenue from sales of by-products including silver
We define AISC based on the definition set out by the World Gold Council
including the updated guidance note dated November 14
We define AISC as the sum of total cash costs (as defined above)
sustaining capital expenditure relating to current operations (including capitalized stripping and underground mine development)
sustaining exploration and evaluation cost related to current operations (including sustaining capitalized evaluation costs)
reclamation cost accretion and amortization related to current gold operations and corporate and allocated general and administrative expenses
Corporate and allocated general and administrative expenses include general and administrative expenses
share-based payments and defined benefit pension plan expense
Corporate and allocated general and administrative expenses do not include non-cash depreciation
As this measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations
growth capital and reclamation cost accretion not related to operating gold mines are excluded
financing charges (including capitalized interest)
except for financing charges related to leasing arrangements
and costs related to business combinations
asset acquisitions and asset disposals are also excluded
Sustaining capital is capital required to maintain current operations at existing levels
including capitalized stripping and underground mine development
Sustaining capital excludes non-cash sustaining lease additions
expenditure related to development projects
or other growth or sustaining capital not related to operating gold mines
Growth capital is capital investment for new operations
major growth projects or enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations

farmer and developer died in 2021 at age 90
Three of Joe Miller's sons are among seven trustees suing in state district court to have their sister removed as a trustee
Longtime rancher and developer Joe Miller was known for controlling key portions of land as well as his uniquely ambitious vision for how the Eldorado area should develop
often clashing with county government and some neighbors
Miller, who died at the age of 90 at his Lamy Ranch in 2021
held a position of prominence in the local psyche for his nearly 30-year battle to develop hundreds of acres he had purchased in the 1980s between Lamy and Old Las Vegas Highway
The proposed project was involved in a series of lawsuits and faced a 13-year water-use moratorium
with Miller at loggerheads with Santa Fe County
an ugly legal fight is shaping up among Miller’s relatives over aspects of his valuable estate
Three of Joe Miller’s sons are among the seven beneficiaries petitioning to have their sister Kathy Miller
removed from managing the assets and overseeing three trusts
17 in Santa Fe’s First Judicial District Court
they argue Kathy Miller should be compelled to complete an accounting of the assets and “to invalidate transfers of assets” that were intended to be a part of the trust but which she
The petition maintains the plaintiffs received a letter from Kathy Miller’s lawyer dated January of 2021 stating the believed value of the three trusts were “in excess of $20 million.”
But while the now 4-year-old letter promised an appraisal of the trusts
no such appraisal has been provided to the seven plaintiffs
who have not received any form of income or distributions from the trust or its assets
the petition alleges Kathy Miller used her influence on an ailing Joe Miller to arrange pre-death transfers of assets that
Her legal counsel has not filed a response to the allegations outlined in the petition
Some of the properties held by the Northern New Mexico developer are alluded to in the petition
the petition states Kathy Miller used her position of “control over” Joe Miller when he was aging to obtain “a grant of properties that she should not have received,” such as 155 acres of land in the Lamy area off of River Bank Road
Also referenced in the petition is a “country store” and Cimarron Self storage located on 12 acres of land at Colina Drive in Eldorado
Eldorado — along with the area southeast of Santa Fe overall — has experienced a jump in residential development in recent years
is still under construction north of Eldorado closer to Santa Fe
Just the name Joe Miller was enough to arouse ire in a vocal subset of residents along the U.S
285 corridor near Eldorado who fiercely opposed his development plans
But Miller was also known for his affable personality and well-known in communities south of Santa Fe
recently discovered Kathy Miller exercised undo influence on Miller before he died and “arranged pre-death transfers of assets that were part of the Trusts or that were meant for inclusion in the Trusts.”
Joe Miller suffered a broken pelvis and blood clots following a fall in November of 2019
“When family members tried to visit Decedent after his fall
Respondent would almost always show up to ‘supervise’ the visit within minutes of the family members’ arrival,” states the petition
Respondent almost never allowed members to see Decedent in private.”
blocked family members’ calls from going through to the Northern New Mexico developer’s phone by October of 2019
An attorney for the plaintiffs couldn’t be reached this week
Joe Miller is known for spending more than a quarter of his life trying to develop 50 acres of nearly vacant land along U.S
the highway that leads to the Eldorado subdivision and Lamy
Santa Fe County gave tentative approval to the initial master plan for Cimarron Village in 1994
and it was set for final consideration by the Board of County Commissioners when the panel switched its agenda to first vote on an emergency water moratorium for the entire U.S
Then there was the matter of a lawsuit Miller brought against the county after sheriff’s deputies entered his ranch property near Lamy to investigate a gravel mining operation and arrested him
He was taken to jail and eventually received a $100,000 settlement from the government for violating his constitutional rights
A news obituary for Joe Miller published by The New Mexican noted family and others who knew Miller considered him a self-made man
someone who saw the beauty and potential of Eldorado and its people
as his designs ultimately bridged the gap between postwar decadence and an upcoming embrace of mid-century modernism
and Cadillac’s interpretation of The Forward Look became a cultural touchstone thanks to a pair of especially outrageous tail fins affixed to those long and low lines
But not all 1959 Cadillacs are created equal
as they came with several names fitted with unique body styles
Actually there were three different Eldorados
but we’re getting ahead of ourselves
Just about everything was standard in an Eldorado
including a triple-carbureted induction system
and a bevy of power assists within its decadent interior fabrics
Many of those enhancements were available on cheaper Cadillacs
Only the Eldorado had chrome ornamentation that accentuated the fuselage-shaped quarter panels
And only one Cadillac was worthy of the word “Eldorado” spelled across its front fenders
This was also the trim level that forged countless die-cast duplications
Owning the best of the best has its merits
and for those who could afford the Eldorado’s elevated asking price
the only question was which body style fit their lifestyle
Clearly there is much to love about the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado and the restrained posterior of its 1960 brother
because time has been kind to all examples
all body styles have increased significantly in value
Hagerty Price Guide values for Seville coupes in #2 (excellent) condition has seen an impressive 62 percent (1959) or a slightly more modest 30 percent (1960) rise in value
That means a 1959 Eldorado Seville in #2 condition checks in at a whopping $97,800 in 2025
The Brougham increased 31 percent (1959) and 22 percent (1960)
or $165,000 for the Italian crafted sedan from 1959
The Biarritz increased 54 percent (1959) and 44 percent (1960) over this same time period
so buying a 1959 model will set you back $278,000 this year
The more modestly styled 1960 is significantly cheaper at $154,000
while the optional bucket seats adds 10 percent to any Biarritz in any condition
The added allure of owning a vintage Cadillac without a front bench seat is unexpected
but Generation X’s interest in 1959-60 Eldorados is downright noteworthy
Gen X makes up 31 percent of the market as a whole
and is responsible for 36 percent of insurance quotes for Eldorados to Hagerty
Boomers are technically ahead with 31.8 of the market as a whole
but behind on Eldorado interest with 34 percent of quotes
Pre-boomers are four percent of the market as a whole
while Millennials are 23 percent and Gen Z is 11 percent
Millennials are going strong with quotes for their Eldorados
with 15 percent of inquiries coming from them
Both years of 1959-60 Cadillac Eldorado are winners with Americans of every age
but there’s clearly one year that excels in terms of cash value
a 1960 Eldorado Biarritz is 45 percent cheaper than the 1959 model with its iconic tail fins
with a 28 percent decrease in value for 1960 models
The Italian-designed Brougham is an interesting outlier: The 1960 models are 36 percent less valuable
even though the 1959 Eldorado Brougham lacked the spirited tail fins of other 1959 Cadillacs
Perhaps not every 1959 Cadillac buyer cares about having a unique set of fins
“I don’t think the 1959-60 Eldorado was considered that special when it was fresh off the showroom floor
the body is shared with the $2000 cheaper Series 62 and DeVille series cars
While I do love the fuselage tracing style of the Eldorado’s exterior trim
in certain pictures it makes the sleek fuselage look bloated.”
Chadwick is a longtime owner of a 1959 Series 62 convertible with Tri-power carburetion
and notes any Cadillac from this year was perceived as an “outrageous example of late ‘fifties Cadillac styling and American excess” from the moment it rolled off the showroom floor and as it lost value in the coming decades
She believes that restorers like the Eldorados more because of their limited production and the unique items that make them a flagship Cadillac
As the values for 1959-60 Eldorados in 2025 show
they will continue to be some of the most appealing cars of the tail fin era
I’m not really a luxo-barge guy but the side view of the ’59 top-down Biarritz stirs something within me that I didn’t know was there
I imagine it inciting chants of “USA
“…the side view of the ’59 top-down Biarritz stirs something within me that I didn’t know was there”
They’ll start excavating Cadillac Ranch soon
Those ’59 -’60 Cadillacs were enormous in size
They are probably the most valuable and famous models on the market
Cads were considered top of the line as far as cars were considered
So,obviously if you wanted to flaunt your lifestyle
“I ain’t gonna run no damn Ford”
The tri 5 Fords had styling just as nice as the tri 5 Chevys
My grandfather drove Cadillacs from the late 1930s until he passed away in 1975
He bought a ’59 4-door in ermine white
I remember wishing he would have waited another year and had gotten one of the truly stunning 1960s instead of the cartoonish ’59
I’m often on the fence between the much sleeker 60′ versus the bodacious 59′
Two very similar cars giving off two very different emotions in my opinion
The National Park Service will restore exstensively mined areas in Eldorado Creek in Denali National Park and Preserve with the goal to improve natural stream processes
a tributary to Moose Creek in the Kantishna Hills
was extensively placer mined in the later part of the 20th century
Moose Creek is an anadromous river in the Yukon-Kuskokwim watershed
This project will update the adaptive management strategy for lower Eldorado Creek within the Moose Creek floodplain using the best-available
data-driven stream restoration practices and improve in-stream fish habitat
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law makes critical investments in the resilience and restoration of America’s lands
and enhances conservation and recreation opportunities
Visitors will see tangible results such as repaired and upgraded trails and campgrounds
