J.E.,

Thanks for your post. It reveals much about and points up the difference between the conventional thinking and what we here are sure will happen in the future. The egg on the face award will go to the Arizona Bureau of Mines!! Of this I have no doubt. Given the choice of eggs, it would be half dozen goose eggs or one real good ostrich egg.

There is a trickle in the stream of the dd's which will later become a raging torrent. Some individual companies will fail and some will be huge successes. Let me not leave out private concerns as there are many non-public participants. Ditto there.

I have certainly leaned a great deal in the past year. I thank all my teachers. We who follow the dd's and GPGI in particular are on the forefront of investors who will without doubt follow. We believe that significant values are contained in unconventional ores and we believe that they will be successfully extracted and sold at profit. The article that J.E. pointed me to today highlights the conventional thinking for me. Gentlemen and ladies, this thing will come about and it will happen soon!!

There are people of great ability and great resolve who know the truth about the issue. They will not be deterred.

I spoke with one of those today. I am glad that I did. He revealed much to me. One of his revelations was that success is not in doubt or in question. He said to me that it will be done!! He said it with a resolve that I have never heard before. I will not tell you his name because I do not have permission to do so. I will tell you that he has been involved in researching and understanding ores for some time. He is not M. Wendell.

On the other hand there is much promotion and disinformation inherent in the whole scenario. I implore all "caveat emptor". I speak poor latin. "illegitimus noncarborondum" and "takum inferno" are the second and third terms in my vocabulary. That is not entirely true, being a classicly trained pharmacist. As everyone knows, I spell well in all languages (VVBG)!

The winners names I cannot tell you. There will be some that you never heard of and some that are familiar.

There is clearly more here than meets the eye and there are some very big interests in play here. Never count out the big interest. Would I take on DeBeers on diamonds? I leave the rest to you.
