Your welcome I tell it like I see it. No tomfoolery about. I still have the mud on my boots to prove it. Go NBRI.

Well I have the share count I was aiming for and my average is .033 a share so any small bump in the price and I'm green. I trust it won't take long. Go NBRI.

Hey Gem. What day are you talking about?

I think Spanky has a better idea but the PR on it said once the Auditor was done, which had to be delayed because the auditor needed to do reporting stocks first, then they would file with the SEC. My guess is sometime in June but Spanky might have a better timeline then I do.

Walt, the market will decide what value RGI has versus NBRI. In my opinion if we get the Fraser going before the RGI split it would be 50/50 but we won't know until one or the other happens. As a whole I think we will be better combining both as a total. Just my opinion..

I have no issues with how Perry is getting it done, he does what has to be done and we are closer then ever to getting the gold. He has surrounded himself with the best people in the industry and he doesn't need to know squat about mining as long as he has the best in the industry running the show. He handles the finance and the NBRI crew handles the mining, great combination as far as I am concerned.

The quartz veins in this region typically extend to thousands of feet in depth and are noted for rich ore shoots often containing spectacular pockets of Gold-in-Quartz running hundreds or thousands of ounces per ton. Considering the large size and coarse nature of the Ruby’s nuggets, and the fact that both the Melones Fault structure and the probable northern continuation of the 16-to-l vein system pass directly through the Ruby Mine Property, the Ruby Mine has an excellent potential for long-term quartz gold production in addition to the Ruby's famous placer nuggets.

Well, I picked up a few more shares today, almost at the level I want to be at. Read the news today, did you notice one of the loans has a conversion rate fixed at .08 a share. Both can be paid off in cash before they come due. I have no issues with that, by this summer we will have the gold and the cash to start paying all this off. Go NBRI

I would be happy with a $1.00 a share in the next yr or 2. That would set me up just fine with my retirement. Go NBRI.

Rem, you are correct. There are several large mines in the area that have spent millions and over 10 years and can't even get in the mines. Idaho-Maryland is one. Sutter is another. NBRI is years ahead of all of them.

Good night everyone. I've said my piece for the night and if you believe or dis believe me it is up to you and your own DD. Don't be malcontent with my honesty. Go NBRI.

The Heritage report will be done soon, probably June but it will happen.

Yes, Perry and I talk occasionally and I have talked to Bill and Lyla but they all run a first class operation and they would never ever say anything that is considered insider information. Want a great example of their integrity? Look at my past post and visit back in November, I was there the day before they PR'ed the blasting permits. Do you know what I could have done with that info before they posted that. Integrity and honesty is NBRI.

All the loans Perry has completed have a cash payoff instead of converting so getting gold this yr from the Ruby and Fraser will pay them all off.

Wow, alot of messages being passed along today, I had another night of working and a day of sleeping so just now catching up. The info about the BC government taking notice of the delays and stone walling of junior miners is a good omen, once they can get things going it will make the price of the Ruby mine skyrocket. We can finally get past the Indians and get that gold out of the Ruby. When we get the Heritage report done we can finally start mining the Carson mine and get it going. I have a confession to make, I mocked up the Ruby mine in my backyard and never went to CA so all those pics and videos I posted are fake and the Ruby hasn't done a thing in 3 yrs. They should have spent 5 mil to drill a thousand holes to fine the potato patch then spend another 5 mil to build more raises in the opposite direction to test the mill. OK, so I am being a little crazy here. I watched a stock triple in a week on bogus PR's
that eventually got sent to the greys when shut down by the SEC. NBRI has made some honest mistakes,and has come clean with them, they have been honest all along, good and bad, things that happened a few years ago that may have affected some have reached the expiration date for filing any claim and have no impact on NBRI today but yet still becomes an issue for some. The Fraser delay is not the fault of NBRI but it becomes an issue for some that want to continue to make it an issue. It is going to happen, whether you are in or out, whether you believe or don't, whether you believe half the messages here that are good or bad, we can't stop it and Perry isn't going let it go without a fight. Do your own DD and get most of your information outside of this message board. I am long and I continue to buy even at these levels because I believe in Perry, I believe in the team and I believe in NBRI.

Good morning NBRI. Is this the week we get some news. Let's make this a good week. We either take off or we pick up more cheapies. I'm still loading.

Good answer. I'd hit the like button but the don't have one on ihub. Go NBRI.

Found this interesting tidbit of information. Look at the second entry in the year 1853, The Fraser River in BC. And we have that one too.

Gold Districts of California
Bulletin 193 California Division of Mines and Geology 1976
Table of Contents


1775-1780 The first known discovery of gold in California was made in the Potholes district, Imperial County. Mining extended into the Cargo Muchacho and Picacho districts.
1828 A small placer gold deposit was found at San Ysidro, San Diego County.
1835 The placer deposits in San Francisquito Canyon, Los Angeles County, were discovered.
1842 Gold was discovered in Placerita Canyon, Los Angeles County. Some sources give the date of this discovery as 1841.
1848 Gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill at Coloma on the American River by James Marshall. Although the exact date has been the subject of some discussion, it is officially designated as January 24. The first printed notice of the discovery was in the March 15 issue of "The Californian" in San Francisco. Shortly after Marshall's discovery General John Bidwell discovered gold in the Feather River and Major Pearson B. Reading Found gold in the Trinity River. The gold rush was soon in Full sway as thousands of gold seekers poured into CaliFornia.
1849 Quartz mining began at the Mariposa mine, Mariposa County. A stamp mill, probably the First in the state, was installed.
1850 Gold-bearing quartz was Found at Gold Hill at Grass Valley. This led to the development of the great underground mines in that district and a major industry that continued for more than 100 years.
1851 Gold was discovered in Greenhorn Creek, Kern County. This discovery led to the rush to the upper Kern River region.
1852 California's annual gold production reached an all-time high of $81 million.
1852 Hydraulic mining began at American Hill just north of Nevada City, Nevada County, and at Yankee Jims, Placer County.
1852 The first extensive underground mining of buried river channels commenced in the Forest Hill district, Placer County.
1853 The placers at Columbia, Tuolumne County, began to yield vast amounts of gold. This continued until the early 1860s. At that time Columbia was one of the largest cities in the state.
1853 The Fraser River rush in British Columbia caused a partial exodus of miners from the state.
1854 A 195-pound mass of gold, the largest known to have been discovered in California, was found at Carson Hill, Calaveras County.
1855 The rich surface placers were largely exhaused by this date and river mining accounted for much of the state's output until the early 1860's. All of the rivers in the gold regions were mined.
1859 The famous 54-pound Willard nugget was found at Magalia, Butte County.
1859 The Comstock silver rush began in Nevada. This development caused a large exodus of gold miners from California. However, it stimulated gold and silver prospecting in eastern and southeastern California.
1864 By this time Caljfornia's gold rush had ended. The rich surface and river placers were largely exhausted; hydraulic mines were the chief sources of gold For the next 20 years.
1868 The fjrst air drills were introduced. However, widespread use of air drills in mining did not come for another 30 years.
1876 The stampede to the Bodie district in Mono County began. This rush lasted until about 1888.
1880 Hydraulic mining reached its peak in the state. Vast systems of reservoirs, tunnels, ditches, flumes, and pipelines supplied water to these operations.
1883 Gold production figures began to be collected for the calendar year instead of the fiscal year.
1884 Sawyer Decision. In the case of Woodruff vs. North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company, Judge Lorenzo Sawyer issued a decree prohibiting the dumping of debris into the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers and their tributaries. Action against other hydraulic mines soon followed. A few mines constructed tailings storage dams and continued to operate, but hydraulic mining has not been important in the Sierra Nevada since. For a few years drift mines partially made up for the loss in output of surface placer gold.
1890 Beginning about this time and continuing for several decades, great improvements were made in mining and milling methods. These changes enabled many more lode deposits, especially large but low-grade accumulations, to be profitably worked. The improvement of air drills, explosives, and pumps, and the introduction of electric power lowered mining costs greatly. The introduction of rock crushers, increase in size of stamp mills, and new concentrating devices, such as vanners, lowered milling costs. Cyanidation was introduced in 1896 and soon replaced the chlorination processes.
1893 The Caminetti Act was passed creating the California Debris Commission. This commission licenses hydraulic mining operations in the Sierra Nevada. It is empowered to assess such mines to build debris dams.
1893 Gold was discovered in Galer Gulch in the El Paso Mountains in eastern Kern County. This led to other discoveries in the area and the influx to the Rand district, which began in 1895.
1898 The first successful bucket-line dredge was started on the lower Feather River near Oroville. Gold dredging soon became a major industry that continued for more than 65 years.
The lost, high-grade Tightner vein was rediscovered at Alleghany in Sierra County. Large amouts of rich are were taken from this vein, and mining activity, reviving in this district, continued until 1965. This was the last district in the state where gold mining was the chief industry.
1916 The general prosperity that began during World War 1 and continued until 1929, with accompanying high costs, caused a decrease in gold output.
1922 Argonaut disaster. A fire on the 3350-foot level at the Argonaut mine in the Jackson district, Amador County, caused the loss of 47 lives.
1929 Peak of post World War I boom. Lowest point in gold production since 1849.
1930 Gold production started to rise because of the depression and resulting low operating costs.
1933-1935 The price of gold increased from $20.67 to $35 per fine ounce. This rise ultimately resulted in a large increase in gold output and in much greater exploration activities.
1940 Gold output totaled nearly $51 million. This was the most valuable annual output since 1856. Thousands of miners were employed in the quartz mines at Grass Valley, Alleghany, Nevada City, Jackson, Sutter Creek, Jamestown, Mojave, and French Gulch. There were many active bucket-line dredges, and dragline dredges became important producers of placer gold.
1942 World War II caused a precipitous drop in gold output. War Production Board Limitation Order L-208, issued on October 8, caused the gold mines to be shut down.
1944 Gold production touched the lowest point since 1848.
1945 Order L-208 was lifted, effective July 1. Some of the bucket-line dredges resumed operations, but only a few important lode mines at Grass Valley, Alleghany, and Sutter Creek were reopened. Production increased slightly for 4 years.
Gold output resumed its decline because of rising costs and depletion of dredging gound. This trend was accelerated by the Korean War.
1953 The Central Eureka mine at Sutter Creek, the last major operating lode mine in the Mother Lode belt, was shut down.
1956 The mines of Empire-Star Mines Ltd., and Idaho-Maryland Mines, Inc., at Grass Valley were shut down. The industry of gold mining completed nearly 106 years of operation in this locality.
1960 Gold output fell below $5 million as the dredges continued to curtail operations.
1962 The last dredge of the Folsom field in Sacramento County was shut down, ending more than 60 years of operation. One of the last active lode-gold mines in California, the Sixteen-to-One in the Alleghany district, curtailed operations.
1963 The three large dredges of the Yuba Mining Division, Yuba Consolidated Industries-in the Hammonton district, Yuba County-were the only major sources of gold in the state. The small output from the substantial number of part-time prospectors, pocket miners, snipers, and skin divers did not offset the decrease in output from larger commercial operations. Several mines in the Alleghany district obtained U.S. Government exploration loans.
1964 The Brush Creek mine, a substantial source of gold in the Alleghany district, Sierra County, ceased operations.
1965 Governor Edmund G. Brown signed Senate Bill 265 designating gold as California's official state mineral. The Sixteen-to-One mine at Alleghany, Sierra County, was shut down at the end of the year. This was the last lode mine in the state that had been operated on a sustained basis.
1967 Two of the three remaining dredges at Hammonton were shut down.
1968 The last gold dredge at Hammonton was shut down on October 1. This was the last sustained commercial gold-mining operation in California
1968 The U.S. Treasury suspended purchases of newly-mined gold. The free market price rose to $44 an ounce early in 1969, falling by November to $38.50, because of greater stability in international currencies.

Many, many papers, books, reports and technical bulletins have been written in the last 100 yrs about the gold in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Besides all the work done by Waldemar Lindgren, W. D. Johnston has also written alot about mining. Below is a copy of some of his work about Sampling and Evaluation on Placer mines, if you choose to read the article you will see that trying to sample a placer mine can be frustrating if not impossible because pay streaks are not consistant and are hit and miss so sampling is almost impossible to pin down any kind of accurate resource.




Sampling and Evaluation
Posted January 25, 2011 in Gold Mining




Publication Info:
Placer Examination - Principles and Practice
Technical Bulletin 4 Bureau of Land Management 1969
Table of Contents

If the reader will pause and study Figure 2, he can better visualize the more pertinent placer sampling problems, as they are taken up in the following paragraphs.

1. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

a. Problems: Contrary to popular belief, representative placer samples are seldom easy to obtain and in almost all cases sample results need a large measure of interpretation. Some of the underlying reasons are:

(1) Large particle sizes to be dealt with. A representative sample should contain all of the constituents of a deposit and in exactly the same proportion in which they occur in the parent mass. But look at Figure 2. This deposit is a mixture of fine sand, pebbles and boulders varying from a few tens of pounds to hundreds of pounds, and in this respect, is typical of many placers. A little study of Figure 2 will show why when dealing with such deposits, it is virtually impossible to take a small sample representative of the whole mass, and why the evaluation of such a deposit can tax the ability of an expert.






(2) High unit-value of gold. When dealing with the typical placer sample containing a high-value mineral such as gold, any error in mineral content of the sample will be highly magnified in the end result. Consider that in a commercial placer the relative amount of gold (by volume) may be on the order of one part gold to a hundred-million parts of gravel. To the mineral examiner this means that a single fly speck of gold in a pan of gravel is equivalent to say, 2 to 5 cents per cubic yard, depending on the exact size of the speck. The actual separation of small amounts of such gold from overwhelming quantities of sand and gravel seldom presents a serious problem; the real problem is to take a sample that is representative in the first place.
(3) Erratic distribution of values. Obtaining a satisfactory placer sample would be a comparatively simple undertaking if the valuable minerals were uniformly distributed throught the whole mass. In almost all placers, however, the heavy minerals and particularly the gold are more or less segregated. For example, in cases where economic values are confined to pay streaks, these are likely to occur as narrow, discontinuous accumulations with perhaps little or no value in between. Where coarse gold is present it can be expected to be even more erratic in distribution and it should be evident that under such conditions reliable valuation will depend on something more than taking a few small samples and an exercise in arithmetic. In theory, these problems can be overcome by taking samples large enough to offset the eccentricities of a deposit, but to do so, would mean taking samples measured in tons rather than pounds and it is seldom possible to take such large samples in actual practice.

Some approach the problem by arguing that if enough small samples are taken, the highs will balance the lows and the end figure will represent the average value of the deposit even though no one sample is correct. This may be statistically true but here again, practical considerations seldom permit taking the number of samples needed to achieve this end.

b. Industry practice: How do the established placer mining companies evaluate their prospects? First, the prospecting is put in charge of an employee who has had wide experience with the type of deposit or mining project involved. Second, they recognize that anyone sample is rarely representative of the overall deposit and by itself may mean little. Third, after studying the combined prospecting data and perhaps taking special check samples, experience-based adjustments known as "correction factors" are applied to the initial sample data where needed and, finally, the calculated values are based on these "adjusted" data. Here, it should be emphasized that the successful placer companies place as much reliance on the experience and insight of their prospecting and management personnel as they do on the sample results. If there is a mathematical formula or a general rule which will replace experience-based judgement, the operating companies have not found it.

c. Minerals other than gold: Parenthetically, it should be noted that placers chiefly valuable for minerals such as monazite, rutile, cassiterite, ilmenite, etc., are generally easier to sample and evaluate than gold placers. There are several reasons. First, the valuable mineral makes up a larger part of the mass. Second, the mineral sought has a relatively low unit value which means that extraneous particles of such mineral (in a sample) may have little effect on the calculated value. Third, deposits containing such minerals are often made up of well sorted, small-size detrital materials such as beach sands and, in such cases, the mechanics of sampling may be simplified by permitting the use of augers or jet drills in lieu of churn drills. Speaking generally, the sampler has considerably more latitude when dealing with minerals of low unit-value than when dealing with gold and his mistakes are less likely to seriously affect the end results.

d. Other factors to be considered: Many things other than mineral content have a direct bearing on the commercial value of a placer deposit. The mineral value in itself may be of secondary concern where sampling or examination of the lands for example, show unfavorable bedrock conditions, excessive amounts of sticky clay, large boulders or other factors that would adversely affect a placer mining operation. A good sampling program will provide the information needed to evaluate adverse physical conditions, should they exist, but here again experience is needed to interpret the information and make correct decisions.

e. In brief: Placer samples yield limited information. Correct interpretation of this information depends upon the engineer's powers of deduction and experienced judgement, rather than on the rigid application of formulae.

The question about how much gold is up there in the mountains has been discussed for a 100 yrs, below is an article written by Waldemar Lindgren in 1911. Good reading if you have nothing else to do.





The Tertiary Gravels of the Sierra Nevada of California - Introduction





Here are some excerpts from the introduction.



Under the initial eyes of the Department of the Interior, United States Geological Survey, Waldemar published Professional Paper 73 in 1911. To many, 1911, represents the historical past. To California gold miners, it is an important part of the story of gold with present day implications. Does anyone believe all the placer and lode gold deposited in the Sierra Nevada is gone? NO. Just how much remains buried in one of the World’s richest gold belts, continues to be the topic for discussion.

Lindgren’s introduction reads like fine prose, not like the dry reports written by later day geologists. Excerpts follow. See for yourself. Lindgren provides us “The Big Picture” unconfused by the clutter of self serving details in evaluating the current potential of the Sixteen to One vein system.



THE TERTIARY GRAVELS OF THE SIERRA NEVADA OF CALIFORNIA.

By: Waldemar Lindgren

INTRODUCTION

OUTLINE OF LATER GEOLOGIC HISTORY OF THE SIERRA NEVADA

This report attempts to trace a part of the history of the Sierra Nevada, the great range which, for 300 miles, divides the central valleys of California from the deserts of the Great Basin. It presents an account of the Tertiary formations of the range and deals especially with the origin and distribution of the gold-bearing gravels, which made these mountains one of the treasure houses of the world.

The Paleozoic and early Mesozoic seas once extended over the site where the Sierra now lifts its broad back. Toward the close of the Mesozoic era the sediments were compressed in heavy folds, and the intrusion of granitic magmas forced them upward to lofty summits. After the intrusion, the fissures and joints of granitic rocks and altered sediments became filled with veins and seams of gold-bearing quartz. A long period of erosion in the early Cretaceous planed down the newborn mountains. The concentration of the gold from the veins began in countless streams. Pauses in the erosion, when the topography had been reduced to gentle outlines, permitted deep rock decay and promoted the liberation of gold from its matrix. Renewed uplift quickened erosion and facilitated the further concentration of gold. Throughout Cretaceous and Tertiary time these conditions continued.

Long-quiescent volcanic forces asserted themselves toward the end of Tertiary time, contemporaneously with the greatest volcanic activity in the Great Basin. Rhyolite flows filled the valleys, covered the auriferous gravels, and outlined new stream courses in the old valleys. Eruptions of andesitic tuffs began in enormous volume and effectually buried a large number of the streams, filling their valleys to the rims. At the close of the Tertiary period a steaming, desolate expanse of volcanic mud covered almost the whole of the northern Sierra, in startling contrast to the peaceable verdure-clad hills of the Miocene. Wherever the canyon-cutting streams destroyed the old channels, the gold in those channels became concentrated in the canyons and thousands of disintegrated quartz veins added to the previous concentrates.

The barren lava flows and the canyon slopes again became clothed by vegetation, this time of the type belonging to a cooler but still temperate climate.

During the last brief span of a few thousand years the Sierra Nevada has remained as we now see it, with the pleasing oak groves of the foothills, the somber giant pines of the middle slopes, and the storm-scarred hemlocks of the summit ridges.

The peace of the wilderness was interrupted in 1849. An army of gold seekers invaded the mountains; at first they attacked the auriferous gravels of the present streams, but gradually the metal was traced to the old Tertiary river beds on the summits of the ridges and to the quartz veins, the primary source of all the gold in the Sierra Nevada. The Tertiary stream beds- the “channels,” as they are called-proved rich but difficult to mine. New methods were devised; by hydraulic mining the gravel banks were washed down by the aid of powerful streams of water, and by drift mining the bottoms of the old streams beds were followed by tunnels underneath the heavy volcanic covering.

Millions of dollars were annually recovered from these Tertiary channels, and the heyday of this industry fell in the seventies of the last century. Since then, owing to the prohibition of hydraulic mining and the gradual exhaustion of the richer channels suitable for drift mining, the industry has slowly decayed until in the year 1908, the total production of the drift, hydraulic, and surface mines of the range, for the first time since 1848, fell below $1,000,000; indeed, this figure also includes the value of the gold washed from Quaternary gravels along the rivers. Gold is still contained in the Tertiary channels; miles of them are still unworked; but the problems are how to extract it without damage to other property from the debris and how to reduce the cost of drift mining so as to permit the exploitation of the less remunerative deep gravels.





GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION

The occurrence of gold in paying quantities in the Tertiary gravels of the Sierra Nevada is limited almost entirely to the gravels in which quartz and metamorphic rocks form the principal components. This is natural because the gold is derived wholly from veins occurring in the metamorphic rocks of the range.

In Sierra, Yuba, and Butte counties the Tertiary channels are rich in gold almost up to the divide of the range. Wherever the channels cross-areas rich in quartz veins, they become heavily charged with gold.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE GOLD IN THE GRAVELS

It has become almost an axiom among miners that the gold is concentrated on the bedrock and all efforts in placer mining are generally directed toward finding the bedrock in order to pursue mining operations there. It is well known to all drift miners, however, that the gold is not equally distributed on the bedrock in the channels. The richest part forms a streak of irregular width referred to in the English colonies as the “ run of gold” and in the United States as the “pay streak” or “pay lead.” This does not always occupy the deepest depression in the channel and sometimes winds irregularly from one side to the other. An exact explanation of the eccentricities of the pay lead may be very difficult to furnish. Its course depends evidently on the prevailing conditions as to velocity of current and quantity of material at the time of concentration.

SIZE OF THE GOLD

Although the larger part of the gold in the channels is fine or moderately fine, large nuggets are sometimes found and much speculation has been indulged in as to their origin. It has been repeatedly stated in the literature that large nuggets occur more commonly in the gravels than in the veins. It is difficult to trace the origin of this tradition; it certainly has little foundation in the fact. The largest masses of gold found in California are said to be that from Carson Hill which weighed 195 pounds troy, and that from the Monumental quartz mine, directly in quartz vein, was at any rate immediately below the croppings and not in any well defined alluvial channel. Heavy masses of gold are exceedingly common in the so-called pocket veins. Many of the veins near Alleghany, and Minnesota, in Sierra County, contain remarkably heavy masses of gold. Hanks , in his list of nuggets found in California, states that a slab of gold quartz extracted from the Rainbow mine2, near the locality just mentioned, was calculated to contain gold to the value of $20,468. The total yield from a single pocket of this mine was $116,337.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The work of the United States Geological Survey in the gold belt of California began in 1886 and was concluded about 15 years later. The examinations were began by Mr. H. W. Turner and the author under the direction of Mr. G. F. Becker (from 1886 to 1892).

A considerable part of the study of the Tertiary gravels of the Sierra has fallen to the lot of the author because the most important gravel-mining districts were located in the area assigned to him. He has also at various times visited the principal districts outside of his area.

Heartiest thanks are extended to the many mining men who, by information and advice, have facilitated the collection of this data

25-50 bagger would be enough for me to have a nice retirement. Go NBRI.

I have my idea of how much I want and have the funds to get them so I may pick up the rest tomorrow. Thanks Bruce. Now it's almost time for the NFL draft. Wonder who team Leopold will pick. Go Hawks and NBRI.

Wow. Over 8 mil shares sold in the last 2 days and we are holding on. I guess the trip 0's and 800 $ gold is delayed a bit longer. I'm still loading the boat. Got a few more bucks to spend. Go NBRI.

As I said earlier, the increase was required by the SEC because of future warrants and committed shares. The OS was getting to close to the AS and they couldn't issue the recent S-1 without an increase in the AS. It doesn't mean they will use it. It was just a fundamental requirement.

I know and am happy and not worried in the least about my investment.

The AS was raised because of the SEC requirements due to the OS getting too close to the current AS. Go NBRI.

All I know is I've picked up a bunch of shares today and if they want to keep selling them to me then I'm buying them. Go NBRI.

If you are looking at the ihub trades, they do not reflect buys and sells correctly. I bought a bunch this morning and it is showing as a sell. Go NBRI.

FYI. Charlie Johnson left for health reasons and nothing else. Do not read anything into it other then what it is. We are good. Go NBRI.

For every sell there is a buy. Shares going in to strong hands. No worries here and my circle of friends know why. Go NBRI.

I think it's time for some to get out. Nothing NBRI does is gonna be right. Sell out and find something better. Sutter Mill, millions and years and nothing, Idaho-Maryland, millions and years and nothing. Sunergy, millions and years with nothing. Southridge, BS PR's and shareholders holding the bag and SEC suspension. BONZ, more BS PR's and massive dilution and nothing but dirt and dreams. Want me to go on? Oh I have more and I have been to the Ruby and have seen it and trust team Leopold and NBRI.

Good morning NBRI. Yes I said good morning. I worked last night so got home this morning and slept all day and just got up and read through 60 messages and also saw that 5M shares got bought today and my scottrade account shows the bid is still sitting at .0215. I know, it shows however many sells vs how many buys but for every sell there is a buy. 5M shares traded and the same ask, looks to me like shares are going to some strong hands.

I see it posted on Ihub that there is news but I can't find it anywhere, can someone post the link. Hopefully we see a little jump in the price, glad I bought more yesterday.

You know I have to agree with you. I only know what I see on gold rush on tv and it sure looks to me like they are pushing a lot of water through that pretty fast but then again, what do I know. Go NBRI.

There can be any number of reasons why Charlie left. Could be health reasons. He has been mining for over 30 yrs and when I met him he isn't that young anymore so he may have finally called it quits. Don't read anything into it. Now if more staff start leaving I might start to worry but nothing to see here so let's get back to mining.

It seems to be getting better the further in they go. Mr Watters, keep pushing those guys and get r done. Momma needs a new pair of shoes. After working all night I'm going to bed. You all place night today or someone's going home early. Go NBRI.

Doesn't matter to me. I have more I want to get. Go NBRI. It will happen.

Well, 2 of my 3 Ira's are invested in NBRI so I have faith in team Leopold and the Ruby.

In my opinion with my visit and my conversations with everyone is this. If we get the Fraser going at the latest next spring and the black channel this year I think we could see a dollar by the end of next year. Just my opinion. Go NBRI.

When it hits a dollar I can quit 2 of my 3 jobs. The 3rd one is at a woodworking store and I get great discount. Go team NBRI.
