Sid,

You seem to like to throw the BRE-X reference about. Do you even know what really happend? Freeport McMoran (the ceo lives here in town) was to join in on the gold field development due to the small size of BRE-X. Freeport arranged to take their own samples -- then discovered that the original samples upon which the BRE-X rocket was based, were false samples. Then things collapsed due to the absence of minerals. Cut through all the chaff and that is the crux - no minerals so no chance of making money, period. The existance of any other entity is not germain in this context. Unless you are implying that the minerals in the tarclays, which have been described in literature since before the turn of this century, are non existant, your bre-x parallel is not valid.

In case you are wondering, no I was never a bre-x investor. Freeport, and Hartebeestfontein are the only gold mines I have ever owned. Fortunately I have made out hansomly on both in the past and am now not invested in either.

I realize that you are just attempting to irritate people, but your are begining to get a little obvious.
