I noticed that too, JDR. Lots more ROF awareness at this year's PDAC. The whole thing looks bigger and better actually. Lots of parties, including a huge one on the Tuesday night, plus a Country Hoedown party/dinner on another night, but that one has a ticket price. And all kinds of smaller parties if you know someone.
Ring of Fire is big news now. It's in the mainstream media, it's in government discussions, it's all over northern Ontario news and.... we're still 4 years away from mining it. The excitement hasn't started yet. And I didn't know that there were 130,000 prospectors. Lots of small claims I gather.
So then, I guess it's possible that we may see a 10th ROF Golf Classic in 2018 ? Five more years of organizing ? I must be nuts. Yep. Therefore I propose that we build a new golf course IN the Ring of Fire, underground. I've never hit a golf ball off a wall of nickel or platinum before and want to see how it bounces. :-)
