They bounced back hard but I have done well with my two replacements:finance.yahoo.com And I like what I own. They do not have just a pig in a poke. ** They have the goods. GGC has gone up on almost zero promo. MMGG has been helped by Hommel but then again maybe some investors finally woke up from their slumber and read the 1999 silver drill logs. No not trenching reports, not not just apromo NR about buying land next to cortez in NV or other smoke and mirrors.metalin.com The mineralization is sedimentary, bedded and near horizontal with drilling vertical and near vertical. R997 is impressive in its very high silver with low to very low base metal values and its thickness of 15 meters (49.2 feet) that averages 767 grams (24.7 ounces) silver, including 1 meter (3.3 feet) of 6572 grams (211.3 ounces). Metalline’s Sierra Mojada Project Update March 18, 2005 Coeur d’Alene, Idaho – Metalline Mining Company (MMGG) has been conducting a diamond drill program at its Sierra Mojada Property, this release is to update progress since the last update announced in a news release dated September 13, 2004 and a Presidents letter to shareholders dated October 18, 2004. Metalline has been exploring sedimentary beds containing oxide zinc mineralization known as “mantos”, which are tabular, near horizontal bodies of mineralized rock. The diamond drill program was initiated in January 2004, and as of January 31 2005, over 26,500 meters of diamond drill core has been completed. The drill program will continue with two drills to refine and extend the boundaries of the mineralization of the Iron Oxide Manto and drill additional exploration holes into the Property's Smithsonite Manto. Both of these mantos are south of the Sierra Mojada Fault and composed of oxide zinc mineralization. In addition to the current drilling operations, the Company anticipates drilling and sampling of the Property's Polymetallic Manto north of the Sierra Mojada Fault to further evaluate the mineralization. Over 5000 samples of the polymetallic mineralization have been collected from the Polymetallic Manto by the Company through 1999. These samples contained an average of 300 grams silver per metric ton (10 ounces silver per metric ton), 0.6% copper, 5.5% zinc and 2.2% lead. Within this mineralization silver grades range from kilograms (31 ounces per kilogram) to as high as 11 kilograms over a thickness of 9 meters (3.28 feet per meter) and copper grades are as high as 4%, which indicates that the Polymetallic Manto contains very high grade silver, copper mineralization. **The proverb to buy a pig in a poke literally means 'to buy something which you cannot see' and thus 'to buy something whose true nature is unknown'. IMO this fits NW and CGE well whether they are up now or finally produce something worth owning.
