American International Ventures, (AIVN), which had its beginnings as a gold exploration company, believes it has identified an opportunity to capitalize on the potential gold renaissance. With its recruitment of Reno based geologists, Robert Carrington and Samuel Nunnemaker, and other key individuals and directors, AIVN has decided to acquire the control over known gold resources, which are presently marginally uneconomic. Should the gold price rise in the period ahead, it seems likely that marginally, uneconomic resources will become economic, and those properties can then be vended to major producers to be brought into production. AIVN, to limit risk, has no intention of becoming a gold producer at this time. However, should a full fledged primary bull market in gold evolve, AIVN may decide to gain control over selected highly prospective exploration properties, where there is a high probability of identifying gold resources.
AIVN's goal is to gain control of initially 6 million to 10 million ounces of gold in the ground in Nevada. As the gold price rises AIVN will have resources which major producers will find attractive, a development which AIVN management believes should enhance shareholder value.

American International Ventures, (AIVN), which had its beginnings as a gold exploration company, believes it has identified an opportunity to capitalize on the anticipated gold renaissance. With its recruitment of Reno based geologists, Robert Carrington and Samuel Nunnemaker, and other key individuals and directors, AIVN has decided to acquire the control over known gold resources, which are presently marginally uneconomic. In this approach the risks to investors will be kept to a minimum, unlike the high-risk propositions of grass roots gold exploration endeavors. Should the gold price rise in the period ahead, it seems likely that marginally, uneconomic resources will become economic, and those properties can then be vended to major producers to be brought into production. AIVN, to limit risk, has no intention of becoming a gold producer at this time. However, should a full fledged primary bull market in gold evolve, AIVN may decide to gain control over selected highly prospective exploration properties, where there is a high probability of identifying gold resources.
AIVN’s goal is to gain control of initially 6 million to 10 million ounces of gold in the ground in Nevada. As the gold price rises AIVN will have resources which major producers will find attractive, a development which AIVN management believes should enhance shareholders value.

Gordon Christensen Comments
Chucka says take a step backward. Think on a New Process, a Aassay Procedure-a proprietary assay procedure!
(Following are excerpts from the remarks by Dr. Gordon Christensen on receiving his Honorary
Fellowship in AES in Orlando in 1992.)
Many of us have endured numerous obstacles in our lives. Some have overcome them without
difficulty and others have become pessimistic about these situations....The American Endodontic Society has had some significant obstacles placed in its path as the Sargenti procedure has been initiated into American dentistry. My remarks will concentrate on those concepts...known to allow individuals or groups to overcome obstacles...
1. Optimism - Positive Thinking. In studies of successful people...one characteristic is always
mentioned as being important or imperative for success - optimism. When we are bogged down with negative thoughts and words, it is not long until our entire lives reflect this negative orientation, and progress is impossible.
2. Self Guidance - Self Decisions. Decide for yourself. Use your own intellect. Lean on yourself. Answer your own questions. If you are convinced that something is right, do it!
3. Forget Failures. When you have a failure, determine why it happened. Learn whatever is to be learned...Every failure opens a door of opportunity!
4. Don't Worry. Fear and worry are only a lack of faith in yourself and your God. If you let fear and worry dominate your life, you will not overcome your obstacles.
5. Look Forward. Forget the past after you have learned the lessons from observing it.
6. Don't Get Personal. When confronted with an obstacle that can be blamed on an individual
group...deemphacize the individuals and focus on the concept or issue.
7. Work Hard and Long Patience. Success in overcoming obstacles does not come from resting.
8. Truth Always Outlives Deception. If a product is good, and if it works clinically,that knowledge cannot be kept down.
The Sargenti endodontic concept has saved millions of teeth around the world. There are no ulterior motives in the groups that support this concept. Obstacles have been placed in the way of the American Endodontic Society, and many of them appear to be political in nature. Politics can be stronger and more influential than science, but blending clinical success with scientific evidence gradually breaks down political efforts with any concept or product. "
New Concepts in many industries seem to have carried over, TO OTHER INDUSTRIES!
