Yep...and here's the last part of the last post that I lost the middle part....so I went too deep in my fishing and others went too shallow: <<.. The UWL for this file is: homepages.infoseek.com P.S.- Better c0ver. A journey of a thousand feet starts with a single step. ( or twenty feet ) ( as revisied and updated ) P.P.S.- Calibrate the Deepth Finder, we'll find those fish! NEWTECH fish Finder, rub the scalres backward with the ribbed knife. Run under plenty of water and plant the guts with the corn, the herring made the Indian Corn Ripe at Plimouth, and the Red Herring that you see is turning into a Great Blue Herring!!! ! Go fly away after trowlling for frogs and routing for snails. You are UNlucky in fishing...and shorting- better cover. ..>> Randy Gump- Bitter is as Bitter Does, Life is like a box of Sand, ya just don't know what ya are gunna ...GET!!! ! Blue fishing this week here! New England is wonderfull, did I ever talk to you about finding the 3 foot gold veins 35 feet tall by the highway up by here an hour away? The realtor called yesterday and he wants to talk about a neat little Biz Lot we own in the Office Partnership for the $100,000 asking price. We bot it a year ago and sold the back part for 90% of our cost and now the front part is ..well, like a 20 FOOT Deep Bonanza Mine...he ha! ( ya still gots the Bulk In Back or in Maxams' Case...below) Anologys are fun! P.P.S.- Shorters Anogesics, take two pills and scale back on fishing, call me in the Morning!

Richard, I watched the AGM tape last night. I will try to make my observations concise but excuse me if I start to ramble. Runyon made the comment that the ores are refractory and therefore sulfides. I doubt that sulfide ore will be found in the top twenty feet of the desert or in any alluviam for that matter. This material has been exposed to weathering for MMM of years and is all oxidized by now. The geophysical stuff is interesting and I am sure very accurate. They are mapping black sands (magnetite, an oxide) and clays to find the paleo-channels. If these are the materials containing the PM's, what do they need vibramills for. This material is already very fine and should not need additional grinding. Some form of gravity circuit could be used to concentrate the black sands and the clay will probably have to scrubbed and settled. All of the examples used by Hewlett when he discussed mobile ions were for deep hard-rock deposits. He had no examples of shallow alluvial or placer deposits. I still have my doubts that the mobile ion theory will apply in desert alluvium. The geophysics showed a pluton northwest of the study area and is suspected as the source of the pms. However all of Hewletts paleo drainage charts showed drainage from south to north. I was not impressed by the Kilborne guy. He talked a lot about the fact that Kilborne was #2 and how they were very involved in financing of these projects. If that is the case and there is so much potential here, how come Kilborned isn't assisting in the financing? When I talked to a Kilborne metalurgist, he said that they had no involvement with or opinion about the quality of Maxam's ore(engineering and construction only) yet the guy at the AGM claimed involvement, ie: watching the labs run the samples. I have also talked to a former classmate who is with Behre Dolbear. He would not say much about IPM except that BD regrets the day they ever heard of IPM and they will be steering away from similar projects in the future. I have also talked to Dr. Bhappu of Mountain States. He said that there is information to suggest that materials with chromium, iron or manganese might hinder some fire assays. They would not mask them completely but they might prevent a small portion of the pms from reporting. He said, if these companies think that there fire assays are not completely accurate they should approach the problem from two directions. First, they should disolve the whole sample, ie: destroy they matrix of the material and put everything into solution. Then there is no question about the amount of gold present. Second, they should attempt to identify the minerals that actually contain the pms. He also told me that they have parties show up with black box process all of the time and want Mountain States to verify. He said they have been unable to verify one yet. I think I have ramlbed enough. Tim
