Hi Terrence,
Concerning your post: "your "Geologically educated" opinion does not bear well with most of us I'm sure. I for one wouldn't be as sure as yourself, after all I'm significantly older and have had some of my youthful assertions wrung out of me by sustained exposure and subsequent experience."
I'm truly sorry my +28-years in the mines (e.g., Class of '69, Track Gang, Kennecott's Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah) does not "bear well" on this thread. I'm also sorry about my "youthful assertions"--(sheesh dude, a Maclean's editor (in Nain, '95) wrote that I was the "crustiest, wild-eyed, gray-bearded-geezer" she had ever interviewed)--have not been wrung out yet <grin>.
Please forgive me for sounding so "text-bookish"--I can't help it, dude, as I think we re-wrote all of the "ore-deposit text-books" after nailing the Ovoid. I agree, you gotta work and know mines to find mines--and I've been lucky enough to work (or help discover) a few great mines on five continents.
And hey dude, I like Feline's comments here. I think she adds a certain charm to this thread. I don't think she takes herself too seriously either, and I do not underestimate her experience or insights either.
Best Regards, T. (aka "The Bookish & Youthfully Asserting Geezer")
P.S. Sorry for the tardiness of my post--I'm kinda busy trying to find another ore body <grin>. Wish me luck.
