Eric, "... but his forays into mining promotion fizzled on many claims whose promise fell above the actuality."

Henk admits to having been too enthusiastic about these early ventures and that he has or had a lot of damage to overcome as a result. So, what you say may have been true many years ago, but the advanced status of Pampa de Pongo iron porphyry, and the nearby Pampa el Toro Iron Sands projects have proven these particular stories more than promotional. Same goes for the assets of related companies, International Tower Hill and Trevali.

ITH is proving up a larger and slightly higher grade gold property almost next door to Ft. Knox in Alaska, and Trevali (silver-zinc-lead) in Peru should be in production within months.

Also, Newmont is not going to JV with Cardero in Argentina based on promotion.

I think Henk and crew have gotten past those early days of having more enthusiasm than proven assets. JMO
