(Assuming the palace guards clothes are not transparent) I really mean it. I know placers that have between ten and thirty million yards of ten dollar to 30 dollar gold.-- Proven to SEC standards. No bulls**t. So if you wanted to make really good money instead of fardsing around with picayune doubles and a few tens of thou, you would follow people who evidently know what they are doing in gold. Before the price goes up. I was investing knowledgeably in gold mines in 1961. I was mining gold 30 years ago. I built sluice boxes on rivers 20 years ago that ran better than the best assay GE could talk about. I have assayed, mined, milled, managed, prospected, drilled, and geologized, above and under ground. So naturally I am talking through my hat. I am easy to fool. Put a cube of pyrite in front of me and I am all agog. We are rich! Call the police! Don't kid me about a billion shares and placer valleys full of gold. I know placer valleys "like that". Atlin, etc.. And nobody peed their pants over that stuff 100 years ago, and they are not doing it today. A billion yards of gravel is 300 feet wide by 100 feet deep and 60 miles long. There is no way in god's green earth it could run more than perhaps 3 bucks a yard on the average. And it would cost 2.50 a yard to recover. In North America you could not do it in less than 50 years. And you would probably get stopped. And you know what? That kind of deposit does not exist. It is physically and geologically and river wise, practically impossible from a datum of all known and tested deposits. .... EC<:-}
