Actually- I believe BG's limited "mining experience" was in coal mining- which has little or no relevance to hard rock mineral mining. And do you have any evidence other than what Pete O'Heeron had to say that BG has "a stellar reputation in the mining community"? Doubtful- because there isn't any!

But in the meantime- lets get back to the Gold. I think that is pretty exciting. That's what we need to hear about from BG. Regardless of his reputation.
