e,

I noticed that too - kind of like Red Lake is the afterthought! We think Red Lake was big (and it was)...who knows how large the Rice Lake Mine will turn out to be? That, of course, is pure speculation, but at the rate they are finding gold down there, who knows.

I found another interesting website tonight - http://goldsearch.blogspot.com/2006/...

Where did this huge chunk of gold come from? Rice Lake Gold Mine!

This very large, high grade gold sample came from the San Antonio Mine, now the Rice Lake Gold Mine, in Bissett Manitoba. The Lump of gold is 24 cm x 20 cm x 5 cm in size and contains an estimated 5.41 kilograms of gold. That works out to be close to 174 troy ounces of native gold in the one chunk. Can you imagine how the miners felt when they found that!
