Yes, I'm saying my BEING a real miner here in Eastern ORegon trumps your being a resident of Colorado aka living "next to a gold miner" when it comes to arguing ACTUAL real exploration vs Bob's flawed data/stats debate. BUT no, your statistical flaw reliance on Bob's data argument is NOT due to anything he's inputed. He simply reflects in his statistical tables what the mining industry will confess to in their required annual glossy reports regardless of whether written in sanskrit, pigeon-english, ebonics or King's English. So, don't shoot either messenger, Richard, neither me nor Bob. Just listen and learn, okay? And what's this crap about a casino can't be built ontop of a Colorado goldmine? Ayup, that's what you said: "On the precarious perch upon where many of these grand palaces of gaming now reside could not be supported with modern mining below!" BULL PUCKEY!!! Where DO you dream up this stuff? I know of an entire city built ontop of a "floating piece of geological terra firma", and that city, to this day is atop a massive undergound sea of salt. That city is my birthplace: Hutchinson Kansas. It's population currently tops 45,000 residents. It sports now less than 3 massive salt mines, one shut in (and used for US Bank respository storage of all micro-fiched paper checks previously issued and those still incoming for the entire USA banking system. (that's why, if you don't pay extra to get your checks with your monthly statement, you have to wait a minimum of 3 days for it to be retrieved, photocopied and sent to you physically if you lose an 'important one') Plus Carey Salt---still operating in "moderning mining times) Plus Morton Salt (now owned by defense contractor, Morton Thiokol) "ditto--still mining there too" It has shopping centers built on top of these active mines. It has a now closed naval air base built ontop of the mines. It has the worlds longest contiguous wheat elevator built on top of the mines. It has homes and highschools and churches and even a missle filled silo or two built on top of those mines. It has two commercial airports built ontop of these mines Etc, Etc. Colorado has NO problem reopening care and maintenance UNDERGROUND realestate with casinos perched on top. And Colorado has NO problem with ongoing exploration either. The feds nor the greenies have ANY control over what goes on underground, THANK GOD! Why would you even make that "casinos prevent modern mining" misstatement, Richard? You have a nice Easter Weekend anyhow.
