Hi,Bill, Pat and Roy said they'd do some highgrading from the 3 opened veins on the property and mix it in good to make sure that GPAA looks silly by the time the 'energetic weekend is over.' We're all praying for a highyield pocket, at least I am for my grubstake!

Good old fashioned learning and fun for sure.

I just ran the little trommel myself today as he was out oiling up and checking all the equipment out. Thrilled the beejeebers out of me! The three of us only shoveled for about 20 minutes in this 85F desert sun, but I was happy when we pulled the carpet just to see how the sandy shale we were in (that he dug out of the containment pond) was looking.

And YES, there are plenty of unexplored pockets on here. Like he said, this is a new work and he's aware of where the veins are.
But he's always telling folks, he can't see into the ground any
further than anyone else can.

They are in the old creekbed of the Burnt River, that is for certain, but then they knew that when they acquired this parcel many many years ago. So that is a big 10-4 on the glacial deposits atop old bedrock on this place.

Would love to have you drop in. Do let me know you are coming so that I can make arrangements to be down there on his place when you come through. He's one hell of a man to talk 'shop' with and I'm certain the two of you would get along quite well. Might even consider writing it off as a business expense.

If you aren't coming in a rig, then bring a tent or consider a nights lodging up the way and make the time to explore some 'mutual possibilities with him, Bill.' You won't be sorry! There's quite an opportunity here on another one of his acreages 280 that hade Homestake all hot and bothered just a few years ago. Someone is going to be quite happy they stopped to discuss it with Roy. Might as well be you!
