"While close to 40 companies hold claims in the Ring of Fire belt, she said a few have forged ahead, submitting project descriptions and pre-assessment proposals.

"The area of most intense exploration right now is the Southeast part of the Ring, where discoveries of chromite, nickel, and copper have led to significant development opportunities."

There are certainly exceptional opportunities up there for the long term patient investor. I wonder which are the best bets among the extra 3 dozens explorers in other parts of the RoF... Their time will come with mines and roads and rails! While dormant at this time, some of them can be possible targets as Majors bring themselves more and more in RoF lands with a predator mood and hunting equipment!!! A few 000$ waged on the best prospects could earn a tenfold gain in a 5-10 years range easily. At the least, these 40 companies deserve a closer look at them before they get more attention, or they surrender themselves to early poachers! Don't you think!

Let's dig a bit then... This is not often that one has the chance to be at the stage front before the crowd rushes in for the show!
