> Thank you for the rare compliment

I'm sorry if you perceived that as a rare compliment, but I have great respect for all gold miners from Eastern Oregon placer deposits to big open pits, to crazy Russians looking in the middle of nowhere. I award extra points for those that actually mine gold, as oppose to those who just talk about it, and deduct points for those who just promote (some weird juniors are coming out of the woodwork)

I think "our problem" is this medium of communication which lacks the facial expressions and tone of direct personal contact. Sometimes I will nitpick a phase or word, and so will you, the result being we talk past each other instead of to each other. It's unfortunate since we probably have 80 years of mining experience between us.

Yes, not only copper byproduct, but gold byproduct.
My historical point about huge amounts of silver in South
American gold mines was confirmed by Barrick's 2003 report.
