Richard,
I'm sure that Tim Hall is a sincere and honest man. Tim posts what he truly believes. I cannotsee any sinister motives in what he says.

A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. I look at Tim like I look at preachers. No matter what the assays say, Tim doesn't believe them, also, the Bible says that God is the creator of evil (Isa. 45:7). No preacher will accept that, although it is written in scripture, just ask your minister next Sunday, you CANNOT change his mindset. Does a minister have an alterior motive? I think not. Does Tim have an alterior motive? I think not. The fact that Maxam has something new to present is anathema to Tim.

Dale Runyon does not fit the average miner, why should he, he is dealing in something new. Mr. Runyon is close to all those that advanced new ideas and inventions. The Wright brothers were told man couldn't fly. Gutenberg was a gold smith. A. G. Bell tried to get a hearing device for the deaf. There are many examples of unconventional approaches to problems. I have met Mr. Runyon and believe in his unique way of thinking. Maxam will go places like the Kitty Hawk - flying higher and higher and faster and faster. Yes, it took time to go from the Kitty Hawk to the jet. I'm inclined to believe that Maxam will go up like a rocket (Werner Von Braun) It was Von Braun that actually co-ordinated the moon landing. Anyone not participating in the moon shot of Maxam will have to buy their seat for the trip at the much elevated price. I bought Maxam at the entry fee of .08 and .15 I doubt that Tim will ever buy for the long haul. I'm not making fun of Tim, it's just his nature. Best wishes to him and to us all.

Klaus

Richard,

There is not much to review. There are a total of 7 maps. Each map covers 12,000 square miles. The area of Maxam's interest, the Sauceda Mountains and the Sand Wash Mountians are a very minor part of these 12,000 square miles. There is also stapled together about 30 pages of text. In the text they explain their classificiation system for the maps. In order to consider an area as a possible deposit there are about a dozen criteria they look at. Some good indicators and some contr-indicators. The area Maxam claims to be deposits are minor. They have two or three indicators and as many contra-indicators.

These studies were done to help descision making with respect to disposition and planning of public lands. They do similar studies for every new wilderness because they don't want to include possible mineral deposits. I have seen much better places than these included in wilderness areas. Those 30 some pages don't just deal with copper, lead other metals both precious and metalic, they also cover all energy resources and all industrial minerals. When you boil it down to Maxam's area of interest, there is simply not much to review.

I was actually starting to give Maxam a little credit and looking forward to the COC; after this BS, I don't know. As of yesterday, Hewlett was still in California. Is Maxam sending samples there for testing?

Tim

PS My original thought was that maybe Dale needs to look for a more capable consultant, especially if this is the best that Hewlett can come up with to explain the mineralization.
