Let's hope Tyhee get's into production soon at any level; even if that's with picks, shovels, and dynamite at promising surface areas.

Anyone PRODUCING gold will soon become quite wealthy and very valuable; the others might find it hard to raise money (including Tyhee) IMO.

While gold is holding its own and the dollar is moving slightly higher, Europe is falling apart. Its currencies are being attacked. Daily new all time highs are being set for the gold price in the Euro and Pound currencies. This will continue until they fail or are bailed out by massive QE. Either way they lose much of their wealth to the attacking hedge funds. Once those countries have been plucked like chickens ready for the pot the attention will shift to the U.S.

Since Canada is also working on a stellar housing bubble they may not be as immune as they appear; although their general financial condition appers relatively sound compared to the majority of the world.

When the currency attack comes to this side of the pond, the dollar will fall like a lead block in a vacuum and gold will go wild. As that occurs it may be difficult for any project, no matter how good, to get financing. Certainly those who destroyed the currency systems will have the wealth to invest in the mining companies but that's not their M.O. They enjoy wrecking people and things. It will be their intent to wreck and own the gold industry as well; once again IMO. They want it all; its a game to them. Those who have the means to produce gold at that time won't need them and won't come under their control immediately.

Most people in the U.S. are familiar with the board game "RISK." Watch it play out before your eyes. There will be some very great surprises and a shocking winner.
