Mr. Charters....You're right, it wasn't his maiden aunt. 'Twas my maiden aunt who laundered that 100 thousand tons of old jingly stuff...and she also buried all the family's table silver, 30 feet under and afterwards found herself a mine promoter. The rest is, as they say, herstory. She was last spotted speeding down a highway (or should I say up a highway?)...anyway...north-by-northwest...in a beat-up tractor trailer piled high with stolen car and state-of-the-art woodstove parts. No one has heard from her in a while. Do you think she could be in trouble?

I always liked her, even though that silver pitcher was 'sposed to me MINE!! Speaking of mines, how do you suppose that word originated?
This gold is MINE!!???

Well, I still haven't seen anything written that compels me to sell, other than general maligning of the desert dirts, and assurance that you could assay it properly. I guess I'll hold on a while. Sigh...It helps pass the time while waiting for Aunt Henrietta's return.

So, where do you think the price of gold & platinum will go in the next year?

Mr. Thomas is highly respected and has an excellent reputation in the mining industry, having done consulting work for such
notable industry leaders as Marathon Oil, Denver Research Center, ARCO Refining Co., ARCO (Anaconda-Stillwater
Project) and the Mining Corporation, Inc. (Noranda Group), to mention a few.

Mr. Thomas has a distributive master's degree in geology and mathematics. His thesis work was in pyrometallurgical chemistry.
"The Determination of Percentage Levels of Palladium in Alumina-Rich Matrices by Fire Assaying". Other notable persons
assisting Mr. Thomas in his final report were Jeffrey P. Kurtz, Phd., University of Colorado at Denver; Phoebe L. Hauff, MS,
Mineralogical Research Lab Supervisor, C.S.E.S., University of Colorado; and Phil Russell, MS, Rocky Mtn. SEM,
Engineering Dept., University of Denver.

The Oro Grande ores, according to the final report by Mr. Thomas, and after running over 800 assays on selected samples
collected in a conservative manner, show a total of 62,109,152 tons of previous metal bearing material (gold, silver,
platinum, palladium and rhodium) with a gross value of $5,200,222,509. The overall dollar per short ton value is
$83.40/st by estimate. There is about 100,000,000 tons of material in place that no value has been placed upon at this time,
but can certainly be considered probable reserves.
In your pipe and smoke it..
