Henk did at one time have a reputation in engineering etc.. but his forays into mining promotion fizzled on many claims whose promise fell above the actuality.

You have to watch this business. Many a showing comes before a blow out.

Few drillers measure up. Much of the public's money is spent on people who have mastered the art of persuasion and presentation but not exploration. My own track record at exploration and mining is far bette statistically than any company whose stock I have ever owned. And all I do is crawl the bush, knock the odd rock and drill the odd hole.

It is better however to drill and miss a 100 times than not to drill at all. The first 64 holes Texas Gulf drilled missed ore. The final one found a tad so they built the city of Timmins around it. Not quite but close enuff.

A lot of guys seem to find gold mines every time out, but they don't talk much about how many miss. Most people quit too soon because they fear the fizzle.
