We've been waiting about 1 yr now. I have to assume Garry Anselmo has looked at several offers by now - but he has to pick the best one - liken it to looking at a bunch of bananas in the marketplace - often we look at 10 -15 before picking the bunch with the least flaws or bruises. This has been an unusually long time & frustrating for many, but Garry is a very intelligent fellow - he knows the Nolan property like the back of his hand - & has his own theory on the formation pattern of the motherlode. He is an expert on soil sampling as evidenced by his decades of work, even for some major companies, who were amazed with his analytic capabilities - often much faster than their own in detecting where ore bodies & richness lay.

Garry obtained his bachelor of arts degree from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada, and studied geology and geochemistry at the University of British Columbia in 1962-63 and 1966. He worked in geochemical field explorations during the summers of 1961 and 1962 with Kennecott Copper and geochemical and assay labs with Anaconda American Brass from 1963-1965 and in field explorations with American Metals Climax (Amax Molybdenum) in southern British Columbia in the summer of 1966. He graduated in 1968 and began Tri-Con Mining in that year.

I remain optimistic that we'll get it done - sooner rather than later!
