zzzzzzzzzzzzzz dont talk to me about Teck
You got me reminising about 2006 i guess
this little piggy is going to market
Taken by my daughter in Cambodia 2007
i'm not telling :)
will Megas succeed?
Just asking, I am not to familiar with silver plays.
I was busy getting a ten bagger with ARU that year :)
excellent photos none the less

World's largest gold coin weighs 100 kg
The largest gold coin in the world, weighing 100 kg and with a face value of $1 million, was displayed at a show in Abu Dhabi by the Royal Canadian Mint.
The Gold Maple Leaf coin is approximately 50 cm in diameter, about 3 cm thick and has a purity of 99.999 per cent.
Although the coin has a face value of $1 million, it would cost a buyer approximately $2.4 million on the current market value of gold.
The obverse side of the coin bears an image of Queen Elizabeth II while the reverse side features a maple leaf design.
A limited number of such coins would be available on special order, the Canadian mint said.
The show was opened by Canadian Ambassador Sara Hradecky and the opening ceremony was attended by Sultan bin Nasser Al Suweaidi, governor of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Central Bank, and officials from the Royal Canadian Mint.

International opportunities
The board of directors has mandated management to evaluate possible acquisitions that would represent high-impact exploration and production opportunities and that offer significant upside and shareholder value. Accordingly, the company has been pursuing and negotiating opportunities in highly prospective hydrocarbon basins internationally.
Stan Bharti, chairman of the board of directors, commented: "Given the current market dynamics, we see significant growth opportunities in the international arena. We are very excited at the prospect of exploring in proven hydrocarbon regions, which can provide considerable long-term growth for our shareholders."

Ok then, so based on what I have been up to here the last few years I should be shot.
Charging batteries could soon be a walk in the park
SFU researchers' Biomechanical Energy Harvester fits around each knee and generates electricity as you walk
Chad Skelton, Vancouver Sun
Published: Thursday, February 07, 2008
A team of researchers at Simon Fraser University has invented a device that could tap into one of the most reliable sources of clean, cheap energy: you.
Called the Biomechanical Energy Harvester, it fits around each knee and, using the force naturally created at the end of each step, generates electricity as you walk.
Max Donelan, one of the device's inventors, said at normal walking speed, and with little extra physical effort, the device can generate about five watts of constant electricity - meaning a single minute of walking could power a cellphone for 10 minutes or an MP3 player for 40.
"All of our portable devices could start running on people power," said Donelan. "You're the juice, essentially."
An article detailing how the device functions will be published in Friday's edition of the prominent journal Science.
Donelan's device is not the first to try to capture electricity from normal human movement.
What sets it apart is that it does so without requiring the person using it to exert much extra effort.
This is accomplished through what's known as regenerative braking, the same mechanism, interestingly enough, that allows a hybrid car to create electricity every time you tap on the brakes.
"You can think of walking a lot like stop-and-go driving," said Donelan.
Every time you take a stride, your leg muscles at first propel your leg forward and then, as your foot nears the ground, your hamstrings pull back to slow your foot down.
It's that last moment - when your leg muscles, essentially, tap on the brakes - that Donelan's device does its work.
"It engages the power generation [and] the generator helps slow down the leg," he said. "And as it's slowing it down, it's also producing electricity, because the leg is moving the generator."
The device can also operate in "continuous generation" mode, which creates more power, but also puts extra resistance on the joint and requires more effort on the part of the wearer.
Donelan has formed a spin-off company, Bionic Power Inc., which he hopes will have a working prototype of the device ready within 18 months.
At the moment, the Harvester is 15 centimetres long and five centimetres wide and, with the leg brace used to attach it, weighs a total of 1.5 kilograms per leg.
Donelan said he's hopeful future versions of the device will be lighter and less bulky, making it easier to use.
He refused to predict how much the device might cost, but said the first versions will likely run "a few thousand dollars".
For that reason, he said, the device will likely be most attractive at first as a way of powering expensive prosthetic limbs or for use by the military.
"It's not unusual for a soldier going out for 24 hours to carry 13 kilograms of batteries. They need them for night-vision and communications and GPS," he said. "If they could charge a smaller central battery with their own motion, then you save them from carrying that weight."
As the cost comes down, however, Donelan hopes it could catch on with the general public, who could use it to power their everyday portable devices.
And someday, he said, it could even serve as a power source in poor parts of the world without reliable electricity.
"It's an intriguing idea: Children having to take a break from their homework to go outside and play to generate the power to charge their computers," he said. "Even better if they're playing video games."
