I was going to slip quietly away but too many people have emailed me either with questions or requesting me to stay active on the threads. I was starting to feel like the little boy who told the emperor that he wasn't wearing any clothes. Please respond to information on the other threads but not to the individuals who post such. We don't want them to think they have to defend themselves. I would like to think that questions can be asked and answered on this thread without the name calling and hostility that the other threads offer to anyone who does not buy the company line and might dare to say so.
I do not own any stock in these companies and don't plan to. I have a B.S. in Mining Engineering and a M.S. in Mineral Engineering from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. I am a registered professional mining engineer in New Mexico. I am an adjunct faculty member in the Mineral Engineering Department at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. I am also the Mining Director for the Coalition of Arizona and New Mexico Counties for stable economic growth. This organization consists of county commissioners and supervisors from rural counties in Arizona and New Mexico and industry representatives. It is the goal of the Coalition to promote the use of natural resources to improve the economies of rural counties. Statement No. 11 from the Coalition Mission Statement says, "Address timber, mining, wildlife and grazing issues along with any other appropriate multiple use issues on federal lands by offering sound technical advice in a professional capacity." I present this so no one will wonder about who I am or where I am coming from. |
