Thanks for that, very interesting. I noticed a mention of Superior East, which provoked by curiosity. These guys (Richard and Courtright) appear to have been snooping around Suprior AZ and the old Magma Mine a short way from there to Globe before the discovery that became Resolution Copper, and what may prove to the be largest copper discovery ever.
Here's some fairly recent background info about that area, written around a tiny exploration company that is suffering in this environment along with the rest of their brethern.

FWIW, I've been to some of these sites, and bushwhacked around those mountains - lots to be seen by getting off the roads and climbing.
...not selling anything here, just looking at information related to JB's mentors, and projects in AZ at least somewhat related to Hay Mountain.
