Mr. V.- It is true that FL is near Death Valley Nat'l Park. It is also true, that there is not very much in the way of plant life, animal life, or life of any sort within the boundaries of FL. It appeard to my eyes as somewhat barren. Perhaps someone who has been there more often(Chris I, Jerry P) would like to comment on their impressions. Mark

Mr. Volquardsen; As a certified tree-hugger and saver from way back here in the beautiful Arbor state, Nebraska, with a background in environmental solution generation to boot, I'd like to point out a few things to a typical Manhattanite... Nothing happens in a vacuum. California environmental regulators are among the most sophisticated in all the land. We have established a good relationship with them and that counts for more than you could possibly know unless, like me for the last 25 years, you have actual experience with regulators on local and national levels with significant environmental issues. You are correct regarding platinum and how it will be viewed by environmentalists not pursuing personal campaigns or hired like strike breakers of yore to move in and cause trouble all around. I have suggested to the company that they consider over-engineering and other strategies to fend off any possible non-political environmental attack. Regarding a politically or economically motivated assault on Naxos it will require the complicity of some local person who could be imputed to be in some kind of jeopardy as a result of our mining activities. No outside pressure without that local irritant is likely to go anywhere. It's just the way it seems to work. As an active environmentalist with credentials, I have pursued this angle pretty seriously for the past couple of years and offer myself as the bell weather for this thread in that regard. I will do my best to make sure we will never experience any negative reactions except those that money can buy. There's no stopping those. Jerard P
