Putting personal gain to one side (who here is not here for personal gain?) for just a moment. JohnDeFur appears to have a good background and or experience with Geology and mining. I would hazzard a GUESS that the is here as well to get the story out and cut through the less Educated knowledge individuals such as myself can offer. There are some here with facility in modeling with numbers, with Geo data, and Market behaviour plus other not here mentioned strengths. Makes for a somewhat rounded prespective for those able to sift through all of it and connect it to their personal knowledge set and aspirations.
Thus 'sift and match' and make your own conclusions and finally your own decisions.
You live with yourself, do you NOT!
