Hi, Just curious. Where is "one of the most Kommunist states in the planet"? I hope you don't mean Canada. I'm Canadian and don't feel our form of Social Democracy is Communism. It sure isn't Capitalism at its best but then again, I prefer it to what's going on next door. Just wondering. Ciao, FerrisWheel

That was very good info, thanks. I just realized we all live in multiple universes, but cannot sense but one. So it i snot a mtter of on particle going through two slits it is two particls going through two slits, one in each universe. And why the quantum wave action is thr norm in the atomic world but not the macro world. Also that PGMs could double or triple in price this yar becasue of the ETF's. china is rumored to b about to start one up. Don't know nothing about no kommunists though-lol. >> We have lived in one of the most Kommunist states in the planet. One power company, one broadcasting company, socialized housing is the largest landlord in the country, 37,000 Crown corporations, anything not expressly permitted it forbidden. 1 in 12 citizens is a civil servant. 65% of the GPD is the civil service. Socialized medicine. They killed all the family doctors, before they could spread cures. Private enterprise is found in a museum. Frankly I think the only private enterprises left are the illegal ones. ein folke, ein fuhrer. Gold. Is it visible if its riche? No visible and riche are not necessarily either mutually exclusive, of course nor is either one necessary if the other is true. I have worked in stopes that were visible only but not riche. There are one that are very riche, i.e. over 3 ounces per ton, but the gold was never visible. The rule is most gold is invisible. You rarely see gold in a gold mine. In fact assaying ore grade gold may be rare in a gold mine! It depends on distribution. The average assay on most properties is zero. You assay what looks likely but most often you are wrong. In a productive vein, the distribution or frequency of ore grade varies greatly. You may have to depend on averages, but in other cases it may well average even sample to sample with little variance in some veins. With gold mines you deal with what is called release size. That is the size you have to grind to mechanically release 95% of the gold. That in many Ontario mines is 160 to 200 mesh or as small as 63 microns. That means that much of your gold may be less than 25 ten thousands of an inch across - or 6 hundredths of a millimetre, which for the most part you wont see. It could be a rule though that if you see VG, and by this I mean see a bit of it, chunky stuff that it is fairly riche in that area. There is no absolute guarantee that this is true of the vein in general, but it is worth sampling. Often you will find it you see lots of VG, the quartz where you don't see VG will be barren. But again, there are no hard and fast rules. EC<:-}
