"His statement on National tv ,saying this find was so far out in the boon docks it would probably never be mined"

I think you need to be very careful about what you print. I think this line is inaccurate and I wouldn't want to be the author of it. In addition, how does it add up that he would come to a company that has their major interest in something that "will probably never be mined". So I think you need to go back and study exactly what was said and clarify.
