Just a passing thought for another slow, no news day.

Every exploration geologist who is nearing the end of his career wants to leave with some crowning achievement(s) to highlight his contributions to the profession. Certainly none want to leave the scene with embarrasing failure(s), let alone appearing so foolish as to become a laughing stock.

James Brisco is recognized as a brilliant and pioneering explorationist, but his entire reputation and legecy rests upon "profound" findings in SE Arizona, and conversational statements that Hay Mountain could generate at least 100 billion dollars in value. This is fact in his mind (and mine), if not in the market at persent.

Otherwise news coming soon will show JB to be a buffoon, and an embarrasment to his profession - a company killer, because LBST will not survive. And, around 45-years of study at, and discovery of the Tombstone caldera, would have been for nothing. Is this possible? I don't think so!

I think Hay Mountain will be shown to be the discovery of the decade, if not multiple decades. Indeed, something "profound".
