WL,

Why do stooges appear when there is any good news at all for GPGI?

I consider Tim an informed stooge, and you the most uninformed!

You have not even answered my question concerning the classic ratio of PT/PD. Granted, this comes form world sources not resident in the US, but they are there for the finding. Perhaps the South Africans or the Russians could help you! That would be contingent upon you having the motivation to contact them, which I doubt.

You say you have mining experience, and you may have panned a little placer gold in this country, but you have no experience in the area that you are debunking here.

I have done that too and been mostly disappointed. I have panned and drywashed in California and Oregon and screened for Diamonds in Arkansas and Rubys and corundum in North Carolina and Topaz in Texas and etc..

I was not smart enough nor perceptive enough to put 5k or 10k or 20k or 30k in Microsoft in 1986. I had the bucks, but not the perception.

I certainly am not saying that this company nor the area is on par with that but I am saying that it would take an equal perception to invest here.

You mention my discomfort with the company--That is true, but the ore is still waiting!

I understand the common mind relative to Junior minging in general, and there have been 1000 scams for every success. I know that, but I have never doubted that. I also know that there have been some outstanding successes, and I hope to find one of those. My thought is that we all do.

Gee, who discovered that great silver mine in Nevada years ago. Who bought and developed that mine, and what is the name of the one who grew wealthy?

It is almost never the finder who grows wealthy, because he knows not the extent of his find and sells cheap and has not the resources to develop the property. He could labor to the end of time and not grow wealthy.

Well, I am rambling and will soon stop, but I will relate a recent theory about the Lost Dutchman. The supposed discoverer and I must admit that I forget his name here drove an ore wagon for the Vulture Mine in Wickenburg Arizona. The theory is that he stashed some of the ore and later announced that he had discovered the Lost Dutchman.

Wickenburg, Superstition Mountains--70 miles apart, but not an impossible journey--Did I get the Mountain right--I forget--0H well--

Good night and good mining, Jack!

PS--Ask me what I think about the potential for Osmium and Iridium on the Oro Grande and I will give you some impressive figgers--forget the gold!
