"Gee, EC. Maybe you should run for Prime Minister. Obviously you know so much more than anybody else in any field. Better yet, maybe you should run for Pope. Or better yet, God. You are omniscient, and we are not worthy of your company."

friggin true I will warrant. the day you are good enough to give me shoe shine mister is the day I will rethink my entire outlook on whether life is worth it.

Did I fit in with the the SI crowd on that one? It felt "right"

--------------------------------------------------

Perhaps I know more and perhaps I am totally wrong about these guys.

That is always a possibility. Perhaps there is platinum there that they are too dumb to see. Perhaps tomorrow they will find a way to recover metal without grinding the rock into particles 45 atoms
wide. Something I will guarantee you cannot be done without burning out the entire Arizona power grid in one hour to get one ton ground.

I have often dreamed about getting gold out of seawater. Why don't the guys who get magnesium and lithium out of seawater by precipitation also get the gold? Never hear of it. I guess its colloidal not dissolved so it won't come down. Funny there are colliodal gold deposits ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT HAVE BEEN FIRE ASSAYABLE FOR 80 YEARS AND NOBODY CAN DO ANYTHING WITH THEM (Lovell, 1975) and how fine is colliodal? Very very fine. Like nano clusters. Gold will go very very fine. It's its habit. I have my doubts about platinum.

All I am trying to do here is wake people who are not industry experienced to some of the realities of the industry from the standpoint of one who knows better.

---------------------------------------------------

Why should I know better and not "guardian capital". Now I don't absolutely know for sartin sure. But If you outfitted an assay lab and
lined up 20 different ores and standards from all over the world and
let all the experts who work at all the brokerage houses in the world
challenge me that they themselves could assay the rocks more accurately than I, I would take that challenge and put up all the money I will earn for the next ten years that I not only assay them to the 1/500th of an ounce, but show why its true. And I can devise a mathematically and chemically acceptable test to prove that my assay was superior and the recovery was complete. And that none of the brokers or their agents could even devise that test or understand how it is definitive. And I doubt that they can even assay the ores. I could design the lab. As a matter of fact I believe I would trust my own assay over any lab in North America. I would bet on it being closer to true. I would be willing to go against any laboratory in the world that I can assay many times more accurately than they on any orebody you can name. Demonstrably so. I am so sure of it that I will challenge any of them that will put money up to the test.

--------------------------------------------

So they know and I don't.. would they like to try me on a prospecting contest for metal? I will bet that you can put me in any town in North America. That with a pickup truck and a pan I can return with naturally occurring gold by nightfall. I know I can do it. And I know they cannot. I know that they cannot even conceive that it is possible or why.

That is how I know I am ahead of them. They are not even in the race.

I have lived breathed and thought practical precious metals, assaying techniques and recovery methods of all kinds for 20 years. I have assayed, worked in gold mills and participated in development of recovery methods for the metals. I have predicted grades and been right on tailings ponds and orebodies to the 1/50 of an ounce by my lab when others didn't know within a 1/10.

But I ask a broker about metal if I want to know?

Why doesn't he ask me?
