To: Rocket Red who wrote (12803 ) 6/7/2006 1:40:12 AM From: E. Charters Respond to of 78424 yes of course I am totally mad. Ignore everything I say. I haven't been right since I said full speed ahead, nothing can go wrong on the deck of that boat bound for New York. What was it called, Titankit or something... But think of this. We are 15 cents. If we hit an Aurelian type orebody... 600 feet of 24 grams... there is a chance.. and we go to 3 bucks. That is a 20 banger. Now pause briefly to cogitate seriously, do you think you can get $365.40 out of ARU? No, I didn't think so either. Can we get to 3 bucks? Of course we can! I would say 10 to 15. What is your leverage? 100 times. So what are our chances? Excellent. Just Excellent. Ignore that Titankit stuff. Now cogitate for a second. Did you know that when they drilled the F zone of the McLeod Mosher they hit 150 feet of 0.50 ounces per ton? That one stope at the McIntyre was 500 feet wide and it ran 1/2 ounce? That drill holes into the Hollinger plugged solid from gold mudding the bit? That a 1 foot section of core from Belmoral mine could be bent over your head? That there were 50,000 diamond drill holes into the Hollinger by the time it closed. That it is actually one orebody with the McIntyre and Hollinger representing 100 million tons of 0.36 ounces per ton. And it was not mined out? That the Teck Hughes, Macassa, Wright Hargreaves, and Lakeshore Mines in Kirkland Lake are one orebody, more or less, where 24 million ounces of 0.50 OPT were removed? And mining engineers think that 20 million more ounces can be removed? That the Kerr Addison Mine had 13 million ounces removed and was perhaps only half mined out? That Goldcorp is the richest gold mine in the world operating today? That the most profitable gold mines that worked worldwide were all underground mines? That Russia has more gold mines (most not operating) than any other country in the world? That Russia is world's largest gem diamond producer? That the world's richest gold mine ran at 700 ounces per ton, and stopped in 1850 at 50 ounces per ton? It was in Nevada. That one of the richest orebodies in the world cannot be mined as the gold is so finely divided that it cannot be milled? It runs from from 90 to 360 grams per ton, there is scads of it and you cannot make a cent mining and milling it. That 1500 holes were drilled into the Kinross 1060 in Timmins in its exploration stage by ten drills in one year? That the average intersection was more than one ounce per ton? Canada has a few mines. It is famous in other parts of the world for having the richest mines in the world. Hollinger, Texas Gulf, Horne... Now we are on the subject of questions.. do you know how many gold mines "do not go down"? What you want some people to do, and mines too, but they don't always. I think the CDN ratio is 1 in 20 or less "do not go down". In Canada for some strange reason, most go down. That is because of their temperature and the degree of deformation and uplifting of the very old exposed rocks in this terrane. I like Sacre Coeur. I like Everton. Geologically. Of course Aurelian has some biggie intersection. How big a mine it is I don't know. Strata Gold may be just as good. Who knows? EC<:-}
