Yes, PRB has a new discovery at BL - should be a mine in the future - but the timber people and others should be aware that there really is no sure thing in the mining biz - there are many factors, including the POG, which are beyond a company's control - I've personally seen many promising mine sites come up empty, with great management - that's the gamble in exploration, plain and simple

Note to land holders - a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Make a deal now, take the funds and invest in the slew of bargain-basement exchange-traded PM companies.
