I presume you mean Frank Joubin found infamy but I don't know how. A lot of mines in those names. Frank did do a good job on following the sediments of the Serpent River. I saw some of the rock that Gilbert Labine brought back from Denison (Roman was just a prospector then) and a famous geologist misinterpreted its potential. He said he would not bother with it and my dad sold his Denison shares at 1.50. They went to 90 dollars that year. Did you know that George Bush was a director of Texas Gulf at the time? All the directors traded in the stock. Some said they were not privy to geological information. They damn well knew they had not tripped over an anthill. How big it was I don't think they could have said within 80% without delineation. It was not illegal to "speculate" on insider information at the time. (you always have insider info of you work for a company) It was illegal to "invest". In other words you had to be 100% sure of the import of one drill hole. I don't know any one who is, no matter how good the hole is. I think it was 20-20 hind sight. In New Brunswick at the time TG had 50,000,000 tons of high grade massive sulfides. But it was umineable as it was too fine grained. It still exists on unstaked ground. It maybe leachable by a special technique I have uncovered. These fine points were lost on the SEC. ======================
