Here's what I think is the most important take away from all the incredible associations JB has made about Big Chunk - dead for now - and Hay Mountain...,

He would not be risking his company and reputation at the end of his career if he were not very deeply convinced that these will prove to be landmark discoveries. Understand here that should initial drilling show that Hay Mountain is a dud, JB's reputation will be ruined as will his capability to raise money for this project or anything esle - game over.

All exploration geologists want to retire at the top of their career, and finding a Bisbee-type target will certainly do it for JB. For this, if nothing else, he is probably more driven than most shareholders realize.
