Scott, I simply agree with you here on most issues that you raise. Mining experts in general, and particulary those associate with governments are not very forward looking folks. They look back--few will argue that there were not extremely rich pockets of gold found in the Sexteen to one in California. They look at what has been reported as production. That is the only way to credibility with them. There is a simple solution for GPGI, and that is to become a MAJOR producer of PGM's from their locations in the great state of Aridzona! Then we will see multiple studies of the geology funded by the AZDOM and every swinging richard in the AZDOM will be telling his grandchildren how he wrote a report describing the virtues of Platinum Group Metal mining in Aridzona! If we cannot produce platinum, then lets go for Osmium and Iridium--Surely we must be the richest single source in the world. We could be profitable on that alone! The main thing that we need to do somehow is to quit farting around and get some cash flow going. Cash flow, Jack!!

scott, using your post, I made a post from your post, with a change it's most odd discrepancy between MM's recent head ore back-calcs and Thall's "research" I think TH has dug his trenches too deep TH is now unable to admit he's entrenched! ( my change + different view ) TH researched trenched warfare tackits used during World War I and noticed lots of things that caused the other side to loose ground. TH is not inside a trench, he is home with roof and hot food and tv. TH wants you to think he is deep in a hole, wants you to advance towards his position, wants you to drag yourself thru the mud, wants you to trip into his trench and stumble and sprain ankle, slow you down, cause confusion, make you miss-step. Too late you will discover the TM you see is a cardboard picture of him. Wasted time and ammo on a piece of cardboard. The sights and sounds from the TM are like those from the TwiLight Zone, only a small part are true and correct. Like a professional gambler playing poker, knows when to loose on a winning hand, to sucker you into thinking he is not that good, but also knows when to play it straight and give good truth info, to let you think he has this as an agenda, to tell the truth. doug

Scott, <<For one thing I infer from his post that he is employing that tired and specious reasoning (or hustle) that goes something like the following: 1) It was in a book, so it's ipso facto authoritative. 2) It was in old an book. We all know that the older the publication, the more sainted and venerable both the author and the gospel contained therein, so therefore the more true it must be (kinda like the bible). 3) By implication from (2), new information to the contrary is suspect and probably just wrong.>> Not so. My old mining professor used to say "Save a company 2 cents a ton on haulage costs and they will pat you on the back, but find them a whole new f*****g mine and see what they will do for you." As a younger engineer I used to get real tire of people saying we tried that before and it doesn't work, we never did it that way before, or where we come from this is the way to do it. I would love to find a platinum deposit. So would global I think. VBG Tim
