Forgive me for barging in here. It does strike me as strange that this chap talks mining, seems to know mining, writes proper English, but twice expresses the common term "outcrop" as "out-crap".

The first thing that comes to my mind is the old saying, " If if sounds and looks to good to be true?" Due diligence is the name of the game. Does anyone remember the name Bre-X? Bre-X was a group of companies in Canada. A major part of the group, Bre-X Minerals Ltd. based in Calgary, was involved in a major gold mining scandal when it reported it was sitting on an enormous gold deposit at Busang, Indonesia (in Borneo). Bre-X bought the Busang site in March 1993 and in October 1995 announced significant amounts of gold had been discovered, sending its stock price soaring. Originally a penny stock, its stock price reached a peak at CAD $286.50 (split adjusted) in May 1996 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE), with a total capitalization of over CAD $6 billion. Bre-X Minerals collapsed in 1997 after the gold samples were found to be a fraud. [1] [2] en.wikipedia.org
