Thall, You say that you and your friends have many years in the mining business and because of this you know that there is no platinum in Arizona, Have you or your friends done any assays on IPM or MAXAM, or on GPGI that you can post the results, or is what you are saying just your opinion. If this is your opinion without assays then it is worthless. If you have made assays, were the assays made with the permission of the owners, If not then are you admitting that you took some of the dirt without permission. The only thing of value from you or from the mining companies is what can be proven, so you want us the share holders to believe you, show us your proof in writing or as I said, what ever you say is worthless.

Tim, thanks for the post. Of course I can understand why conventional miners don't believe in the desert dirts, everyone is happy with the status quo. Cost projections from Maxam would have all your friends out of work unless they were willing to drive a dozer for a dirt. <VBG> You guys made up your mind years ago about these companies, there's a vested interest in maintaining that position. I've seen the "not invented here syndrome" in US industry for decades, nothing new here. <<he has yet to produce even one ounce>> Then you are telling us that Hewlett lied when he passed out at least an oz of metals extracted from Maxam's Peoria desert sands to each attendee at the Maxam AGM a year ago? I'm looking at that bag of metal right now. I have training in metallurgy, looks pretty good to me, ductile silver/gold colored metal. Anyone out there get an analysis on that metal? However, I do appreciate your comments, IMO you have been honest and consistent in your belief. That serves all of us and has been very useful, thanks.

Tim: Do you own any stock in the DD's? Then why are you so interested, in posting on these threads? Afraid you'll miss something? You posted; <<<<Except for GPGI's claims about Oro Grande, there have never been any mines produce platinum in Arizona. (The exception being very tiny amounts recovered from copper refining.) I have spent many hours researching the Oro Grande and I can't confirm any prior platinum production>>>> I've been following gpgi for 10 years and do not recall gpgi claiming that platinum was ever" mined" at the Oro Grande. Where did you get your information for the above quote? Joe
