My claims -- they've been drilled and there's nuttin' there bucko!

I once interviewed with an African copper mining company about getting on with their outfit in Zaire. They wanted me to do the computer modelling on the mine and I offered that I would like to try with their exploration department as that was a specialty of mine, Their comment was, "Zaire has been explored!"

I am always astounded by those kind of statements. When flying into a property some several hundred miles as I often did, I would allow some hours to go by as necks craned at the vast and trackless expanse of taiga or tundra that unfolded beneath us, and I would comment, "how much of that land was are looking at has been carefully gone over would you think?" Invariably the other passengers would snicker knowingly, as by this time the obvious point of the sheer magnitude of wilderness that had hardly seen by man had been fully driven home. It was as clear as glass. Our grandchildren's grandchildren would have lots to find.

Although Canada has seen several layers of exploration programs on thousands of properties there is always something new to find. One time I went 100 miles from a camp that was north still from the northernmost settlement in Saskatchewan. I was hunting with a scintillometer for radioactive boulders. In the middle of a swamp that had been recently dried up I accessed a normally isolated drumlin. A few yard away I saw an old rusty rock hammer. The previous generation of 1950's explorationist had lost it there. But 15 yard from there I found an immensely radioactive boulder that the previous geologist who belonged to the lost rock hammer had come to find. It was buried, so we know that he was not successful. Our techniques and instruments had allowed us to find a trail that would have made that long ago prospector's season, or even his company perhaps.

Where did my discoveries of Uranium with SMDC end up? Well, when I quit the company the boulders trains that I found ended at the place I stopped looking. The company was unable to trace them one foot further. They simply did not have the people. They did not know how. I am sure that the boulder trains end at a Uranium mine. That is where they came from. If that is what you are looking for.
