To All: A little bit of geological data from "REPORT ON THE FRANKLIN LAKE PROPERTY NEAR DEATH VALLEY JUNCTION, INYO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A. SPRING OF 1995" by Davis and Associates, Geologic and Mining Engineers. The section that I will be quoting from is page 5 of Geohydrology And Evapotranspiration At Franklin Lake Playa -------- "However, initial estimates of alluvial thickness in the Amargosa Desert inferred from vertical electrical-resistivity soundings and seismic refraction surveys indicate potential depths to bedrock of about 1,000 to 1,800 m." Also from the report on page #11 is the estimated tons of material down to 40 ft. -- 275,127,000. The geological theory is that the bedrock area was filled in by volcanic ash that came from huge calderas (volcanic vent holes) to the North of Franklin Lake - at the same time or some time in the general time frame (geologically speaking), Eagle Mountain was thrust up in the middle of the valley, blocking most of the water flow coming from the surrounding area. The rift was filled in by the more volcanic ash that caused the level of the ground to rise to its present day level. This could account for the great depths to bedrock that are inferred. Water continued to flow down to the blocking wall of Eagle Mountain with the majority of it being evaporated upwards and some of it, mainly during the wet season, spilling over the edge of Eagle Mountains lower reaches into downstream flow. This water flow (underground chiefly), may well be another source of precious metals conductance that will take very small particles from surrounding deposits and drop them out in the Franklin Lake Playa (dry lakebed). Franklin Lake can be reached by going to Las Vegas, and then going to Pahrump, Nevada, and from there taking the road to Death Valley Junction, California. The Naxos plant is across the street from the old opera house (DVJ used to be an old Borax mining town). Allow a little more than two hours to get to DVJ from Las Vegas. Regards, Kim W. Brasington
