Wir sind alles Amerikanischer, von der Point Barrow auf dem Cabo de Hornos, and there is gold all the way down the spine of the continents, in other boney parts of them as well ... Perú is not so foreign, certainly less so than places i could show you just off of East Hastings ..... political risk varies widely from time to time in each place, but hey just try living under an NDP regime for ten years, you get used to that sort of thing, it comes as part of all human endeavour and likely always has .... as for placer vs. lode gold, i kind of agree, prefer the latter, but then it's still metal if and when you find it in whatever form, both are rare in commercial quantities and expensive to measure a deposit to the point of financing ..... the placer is more suited to small gyppo outfits though, cheaper to start up production

How small can a narrow-vein startup be, and remain on reasonably efficient scale of economics? ... as in, what equipment is required, how do labour costs run, things like that ...

They were in Central America, not South America. Fighting their way up river, snakes dropping off tree limbs into the boat, etc. Costa Rica, perhaps? And they were placer mining. Are there any gold placers in Central America? Or was he just telling "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" stories? Guy was quite a raconteur.
