You wrote, in part, "............. Otherwise it is usually worth zero. In my view this is the case of the FT deposit..." But why is it worth zero? Where's your proof? Back up your contention that FT is not worth a dime! If you cannot prove your claim, then maybe you are up to some mischief. I believe FT's properties are worth far more than you could possibly imagine. Otherwise the folks at SNC Lavalin and Strathcona Mineral Services would not have made their recommendations to FT to continue with their exploration. Right now, the focus has been on gold and cobalt as the major minerals of FT. Wait till you hear about the importance of bismuth. I suppose that FT's bismuth will convince that FT's worth is not zero, after all, eh? P.S. BTW, I know of lots of seniors who swear by the beneficial effects of phosphatidyl serine and gingko biloba (available from any healthfood store).

• Bismuth Uses • cominco.com Approximately 4,500 tonnes of bismuth are consumed in the Western World annually. Bismuth has been used in health care for centuries. Slightly soluble mineral salts are used in antacids such as Pepto-Bismol. Bacterial properties of bismuth salts are used to treat skin injuries and infection. The medical profession uses bismuth castings to shield vital organs during radiation therapy. Bismuth castings are favoured because they can be made to closely contour critical areas. Bismuth salts are used in cosmetic formulations where they impart pearlescence to lipstick, nail polish and eye shadow. Synthetic pearls also benefit from bismuth as they take on an iridescent finish when polished with bismuth chloride. Bismuth is a major player in the metallurgical industry: it is a basic ingredient in a range of fusible alloys; an additive to aluminum, steel, and cast iron to improve machinability; and widely used to support dies, moulds, and optical lenses. cominco.com
