Istaquio - I looked up Clyde Smith on the interweb and I found his company. He sounds like an expert at mining. Look at what he has done:
"Clyde is a veteran exploration geologist with a career that spans over 40 years. He has four ore deposit discoveries to his credit. In 1974 he founded the Ogilvie Joint Venture, funded by Rio Tinto, Mitsubishi Metals, and Ventures West Capital, and discovered the Jason lead-zinc-silver deposit in Yukon Territory, Canada. Jason was the first discovery of a major stratiform lead-zinc-silver deposit made by a geologist using geological methods. Jason contains more than 2 billion pounds lead, 1.8 billion pounds zinc, 33 million ounces silver, and exhibits potential for a larger resource. Jason was sold to HudBay Minerals.
As co-founder of Ventures West Minerals and VP of Exploration for Westley Mines Ltd., Clyde discovered the Santa Fe gold deposit, the first discovery of a significant sediment-hosted Carlin-type gold deposit in western Nevada. The deposit contained more than 400,000 ounces gold, and was sold to Corona Corporation, which began production in 1988 at 65,000 ounces gold per year.
In 1984 Clyde co-founded Radcliffe Resources and discovered the North Lake gold deposit in north-central Saskatchewan, which contains more than 180,000 ounces gold and exhibits potential for a significantly larger resource.
In 1993 he co-founded La Esperanza Gold Explorations, entered into a joint venture funded by Mount Isa Mines, and discovered the Solidaridad gold-silver-copper deposit in Michoacan, Mexico. Solidaridad has the potential to be one of the principal new ore deposits in Mexico, with an estimated 750,000 ounces gold, 2.3 million ounces silver, and 44 million pounds copper. The project is now is development by U.S. Precious Metals. During 2010, Clyde was Director and Senior Technical Vice-President of Standard Gold, where he led the company's exploration and project acquisition efforts."
So how could a man with all this experience be wrong about El Capitan Minerals?
