Sculpin;

As usual --great post, and thanks for your positive angle of comparrison to other great finds such as Bingham Canyon Mine.

Bingham is Over 100 years old, and still being mined to this very day, and with a good future ahead, possibly another 20 years. And by their own admission---VERY LOW GRADES of COPPER---the principal metal being recovered. The secondary metals---gold, silver, and molybdenum,as well as sulphuric acid, simply helped pay for the recovery of the main element --Copper.

Can you believe it---a property that pales in size comparrison to our Tesoro---1900 acres as compared to our 17,000 acres, and it yields low grade Copper as their principal ore as opposed to our hi grade Gold. (Hi grade--we think so, drills and trenching will prove one way or the other), and their pits are 1200 meters deep, like Tesoro would be at the bottom of the one big anomoly. We have 24 plus to date on only 5000 acres.

Our find kinda rocks in comparrison (little pun there) when you consider how long they've been going, just mining copper. After all --in 100 years plus , all they got was 23 million ounces of Gold. We believe we have 100 million ounces of gold in one anomoly---never mind how many other metals we get as a byproduct of our ore production.

We know by way of the Titan survey that we do have gold very close to surface as Sculpin pointed out in his last post. This is huge in my experience in mining, cuz it pays the way for overburden removal, as well as makes you profit on the way to the big payer---the Anomolies.

We all know---the drills have to prove what we have. And I, for one, sometimes try to be as positive as I can about the possible future outcome of our drill and trenching program.

Sometimes I believe that my positive attitude pisses people off, but being pessimistic when there is so much positive indication as to what we (may) have, would be close to dishonest in my opinion.

My 5 years in mining and the DD done by our hub leaders, tells me that this is one of the best gambles I will ever take. I hope you and your significant others will make responsible decisions based on what your gut and your own due dilligence tells you. Thank you for considering my opinion.
