Ya got to be kidding, eh?

I just don't understand why Fortune is still considered a "hype" when there is so much drill data available. The fact that "nothing" was found initially does not necessarily mean that nothing should be found there subsequently. Perhaps nothing was found the first time because poor equipment or poor techniques were employed and, later explorations yielded positive results apparently because mistakes of the past were avoided, etc. etc. Utterances of "hype" may well be instances of sour grapes on the part of unlucky, unsuccessful, incompetent or envious geologists. If they are convinced Fortune is all hype, they should do well to challenge Fortune and expose it for all to see. By doing so, they may even immortalize themselves!!!

Don't forget that initial geological surveys had indicated anomalies on the Fortune site several years ago and preliminary explorations revealed the existence of an "Olympic-Dam" style of mineralization (like that in Australia) and subsequent drill data seem to support this conclusion.

BTW, who were the guys who told you Fortune is all "hype"? I will be glad to make their acquaintance and learn as much as possible from them!!!!! They may save me a fortune!!!!

Regards,

You got to love those "I was there and didn't see anything of value" kind of comments.

I know a few geologists who were at this place called Hemlo back in the 70's....didn't see much of value.

I know a few geologists who were at this place called Lac de Gras back in the 80's....didn't see much.

It's not so much what they didn't see...that much is obvious. The question is "what did they see?"
