Who knows the mining lore of Western Canada? I remember from somewhere that a mine developed in the 1980's, the Eskay Creek mine, produced 26 million ounces and made someone quite wealthy...Murray Pezim, I believe. I believe Eskay Creek is in the Timmons, BC locale. The Toodoggone is probably considerably farther north and west of Eskay Creek.
Do I have my facts straight?
Incidentally, I hear that the Toodoggone probably has 50,000,000 ounces of gold, just like the Ojolali. I'm not talking about a rich Eskay Creek like find...just the low grade bulk tonnage stuff. Anyone care to corroborate?
This statement ought to bring Rolfe out of hiding. (Heh, heh, heh.):-)
By the way, John, watch out for flying sheets of water in cowtown as Antares downshifts, moves out of the trucker's lane, and accelerates its way across Canada with a bumper sticker saying..."Eat my gold dust!"
