ValueKAT,

Thanks a lot for your great comments.

I too realize that we are betting, and if does look like a good bet.

Any ideas on the cost of an actual mine and the timeframe for gettting it up and running?

If the decision were made to build a mine and the financing came through, and Webb said "123 Go!", how long would it take before the first ounce of gold is mined?

Cheers! (with an Alexander Keith's Red Ale),
