Excellent article and summary of Hemlo. I remember Murray as well. He wasn't colourful at all. Kaleidoscopic, I'd say.

From Coach's article that he just shared with us:

"Based on the high grades of gold encountered so far, and the encouraging size and number of gold bearing veins that have already been identified, Hercules could become one of the most exciting gold discovery stories in Canada in many years"

Location of article.

I don't think you're exaggerating in any way. It has the hallmarks of a big play. The geology, PP, people involved, choice of this vehicle by the Richardsons all say that.

And ... miner71's investment is saying that. If an old rockhound put that big of a whack of $$ into it in the early days - $315 at $1.05 - that's a pretty strong vote when it was a lot more prospect than exploration.
