RG - did you see this about STBY...i posted it earlier:

the excerpts are from this years mineral commodity summary...seems the USGS knows that STBY is gearing up...that should give it some credence:

Jim - re: STBY this is from the latest USGS (United States Geological Survery) Commodity Summary (FY2000 - data summarizing 1995 - 1999). the following quotes are interesting (especially the first):

Events, Trends, and Issues: A U.S. natural resource holding company reportedly was planning to complete its
current exploration program at yearend on two vermiculite properties in Nevada and Montana. Its jointly held affiliate
company was planning to test vermiculite ore amenability to the milling process used at the company?s mill at Dillon,
MT. The holding company had entered negotiations in September to acquire a vermiculite exfoliation plant in
California. In recent years, the only domestic mining of vermiculite has been in the eastern United States.

(hmmm, wonder whom that might be?!!!)

Marginal reserves of vermiculite, occurring in Colorado, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas, and
Wyoming, are estimated to be 2 to 3 million tons. Resources in other countries may include material that does not
exfoliate as well as U.S. and South African vermiculite.
