porcy might be "manipulating the media" a habit I oft dabbled in. However he may be genuinely misinformed as to the potential of a large low to high grade deposit and he may not have seen the gold in the samples as such. I used to invite all kinds of industry and geo people onto gold panny hardrock claims of mine in Jellicoe and show them gold in the pan. A surprising number would ask me how I knew it was gold and averred that it could be pyrite or was "predominantly pyrite". It is hard to say where these kind of opinions come from. Possibilities are:
1. they are right.
2. they want to know how sure I am.
3. they genuinely don't know or are unsure.
4. they know but they are lying, which branches into why ...reasons a b or c
5. they are not lying but genuinely and incorrectly believe that caution is best.
6. they are not lying but believe that the substance is not gold.
7. they are looking for a better property price and want to shake the tree.
8. they are giving broad hints that it is best not to talk about that much gold.
9. they are just foolin'.
Looking down on the grade may for several reasons:
1. they are not that well informed about average grade and metallurgy considerations of CDN or other gold deposits.
2. they have heard so much about high grade thingies that they think that average gold grades may be boring.
3. they believe because some high grade deposits did not make it that all are the same. They cannot distinguish one large grade intersection from another. it is the apples and oranges phenomona. told that they will die if they eat apples, they come into a mixed grove of trees with both apples on some and oranges on another. unable to distinguish the two and at their last gasp, the starve to death amidst plenty.
4. they are professional negativist and like to spread gloom and doom everywhere when other people are happy.
5. they work for the government or some other professional crooks.

You need vaginal retinoplasty. I had to remove the glitter from my eye by picking it out with tweezers after looking at the ARU core. It's ALL VG. Nugget factor will be horrific. I mean beneficially so. They could double their grade on milling. Maybe more. That has to be tested. Even pulp and metallic assays won't tell you that.
5-8 grams per ton.. is not world class? What do you smoke? I need some. Please don't tell me ectasy, crack and Hoover dumpings does that to your brain. 8 grams is .24 OPT by the old system. And 120 feet wide they can block cave at 5000 tpd. Cost to mine max 7 dollars/Tonne , cost to mill about the same, all up. That kind of width could be immensely profitable underground at 1.8 grams per tonne. 3 grams would be gravy. Fort Knox in Alaska mines 0.5 grams gold at a rate of 50,000 TPD. And they make money. Go figure.
Anything over 6 million ounces is considered "world class". It has critical mass. When you are over 12 feet you are into bulk mining and if you have a mining engineering brain and metallurgy is good, anything over 3 grams is doable. And from the amount of VG displayed and reported you can bet this ore is coarsely free milling, and 85% comes out by gravity even.
World class mines ran/run at 0.15 ounces per ton. That is 5 grams. Underground -- at 35 dollar gold. Hemlo. Kerr Addison. Detour. Dome Mines. Campbell Red Lake when they went to 2500 tpd. The average grade of a Canadian gold mine is 0.15 ounces per ton. The average grade of the Timmins gold mines was 0.15 ounces per tonne. That is not the tons-average, but the mine average. Kirkland Lake was the high grade camp. It ran at 0.40 OPT average but its stopes were narrow, perhaps 5.5 feet wide on average. Most of the ore mined in Canada was about 4 to 6 feet wide. Occasionally averaging 6 feet as in the Lakeshore. But in Pickle Lake where they mined about 0.35 OPT they mined about 3.8 feet wide in much of their ore.
There are a few aspects to the ore that have to be worked out. True width. Metallurgy. True strike. Grade at depth. Western area below flat lying fault. Overburden/mining method. You don't have feasibility yet. Lots of drilling to come. Let it ride.
EXL is not bad. It is very good. Good grades, good consistency. It is deep. Good widths, but still narrow vein. They are not committed to going into it and doing it themselves, which I think is a mistake. They have three accesses. They should pick on and run the fease about a year from now.

I am sure Aurelian tried very hard to extend those pesky warrants. And the TSX-V was just vexed about having to insist that they lapse!
People have to realize that the TSX is a group of brokers. A private company. They deal as is good for their agency to sell stock. Hang the shareholder as he does not figure in the equation.
Their entire watchdog pseudo-edifice is in a calculated hypocracy intended to keep the appearance of a moral high ground, {or} dung-heap, better said, that will keep the government from taking over their free-booting market turf. That sentiment is one many would embrace, but a guarantee of mediation of moral behaviour by any suitable mechanism that is not government is hard to synthesize. Tthe attendant thievery, relentless partisan suppression and profiteering that would accompany a government run institution is to be feared mightily and perhaps is what keeps one from getting too morally outraged and calling for a mandated end to it when the shortcomings of the exchange become all too apparent.

Poliquin is with Almaden, a company that explores almost exclusively in Mexico. No doubt with the elections coming up there and the general feeling that somethings might not go the exploration companies' ways, he is sensitive to these sort of government issues these days. Governments that may be confiscatory of the metals industry hits pretty close to home.

Here is some more salacious material.
The zone has a pipe like general configuration closely related to a tonalite intrusive in metavolcanics country rock. The zone is dipping from vertical to 85 degrees NE with a 70 degree NW plunge. On horizontal sections, the zone assumes an irregular ellipsoidal shape with the long axis ranging approximately 200 to 250m and short axis of 125 to 200m depending on horizontal section. The zone has been explored down to a depth of 700m from surface by core diamond drilling. Mineralization continuity has been shown to exist to this depth.
Amongst other sections and plans, a longitudinal section of 10,750E (showing RKD-55, RKD-56, RKD-57) is available on the company's website at: http://www.guygold.com/pdf/long10750.pdf. Please note that the intercepts earlier reported for RKD-55, RKD-56 and RKD-57 are not true width. These intercepts represent successful probing of vertical continuity of mineralization at depth.
I am in a cold sweat.
I feel so cheap and shoddy looking at these pictures.

Kingfisher Mines Ltd. is a privco which I use for acquiring properties and vending them to public companies. I do not JV with Kingfisher with any public companies at present although it is a possibility a little ways down the road. Right now it is a private operations vehicle with some partners so to speak. Moneta is not a JV partner on any enterprises at present. We may however do business with some public companies and then vend that deal to a public operator which can raise the money necessary to bring the projects into production. The ideal is to take an advanced property with gold into production. Some limited grass roots gold exploration will be done as well.
Moneta has a JV partner, the Acrex JV in Michaud. Nothing to do with us. If there are any future synergies to buzzspeak, they would have to develop in the mining area and this is a "longshot". I would not rule it out completely but so far there are no meetings or plans at all.
I do know the people however.
Wildcat as such is no longer operating. For details, if you are interested in some kind of exploration participation you should contact myself personally and privately for details.
I did do a mini JV with Moneta in sulphide grass roots search in West Timmins a few years ago. Bascially we raised the money and they cooperated in a geofizz and drill hole job. There is always the outside possibility of doing that sort of thing again. Not out of our ken at least.

Be as curious as you want, people aren't cats.
I visited the property once or twice and took pictures of the mill and molybdenum mine site, and just put together a presentation as some people wanted to see it. Few mining companies do that sort of thing about their ops. Reason is for a fact is they don't have the publicity personnel to devote the time to it who have the skills to make websites and the knowledge to put together a story about operations. Ordinarily if I had to pay someone to do that sort of thing, it would cost a bundle.
Web and software is actually deficient in a lot of ways in building these sort of books. You cannot email all those pix as the bandwidth is too small for the size of the files. The only thing that suits is WWW publishing. More powerful than people realize. And fewer people have the chops to do this sort of thing than people realize.
We could not do this sort of thing easily 20 years ago, but now with electronic cameras and the web this sort of thing is easy to do. Still not trivial to put it all together. And it eats up a lot of space. Power point makes a so so show. There are probably better tools. PDF does a not bad job, but a lot of people won't load the files as they are usually very large. The best way is to have web publishment tools like cold fusion and the like which are tres cher.

Relationships?
Deep question.
We know them.
Long time.
If they do good I say, good.
If they do bad, I say, bad.
So far so good.
There is no formal relationship between our companies at present.
Say not the struggle naught availeth
The labour and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as things have been they remain.
If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars;
It may be, in yon smoke conceal'd,
Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers,
And, but for you, possess the field.
For while the tired waves, vainly breaking,
Seem here no painful inch to gain,
Far back, through creeks and inlets making,
Comes silent, flooding in, the main.
And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light;
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!
But westward, look, the land is bright!
The projects as they are presenting themselves to us know constitute three possible mine/advanced exploration opportunities. What is exciting is the possibility of bulk mining where widths are generous. This allows low dilution, fast, cheap mining techniques which are traditional for sulphides. With high gold prices they look to be profitable.
If enough resource can be found, because of the adjacent milling in one case, we can predicate early mineability. This is because the capital expenditure is low, perhaps pennies on the usual dollar. With a short exploration period that is successful at finding more ore, extraction can begin without huge ounces ahead that would ordinarily be necessary to predicate payback of mine and mill infrastructure. In other words, a mine is 100,000 ounces or 500,000 tons instead of the one million to two million ounces which would be Dome mine's threshold. I think if you predicate a 50% hit rate, that given "one ton" widths (12 foot true widths) it could take as few as 100 holes 400 feet long to drill off a mineable tonnage to indicated status. At 600 TPD, this would target 3 years mining.
The narrow vein situation is harder or longer term to drill off, but the infrastructure is more developed and bulk-sampling mining can take place early in the game as the resource is far better defined. Indicated and measured for a few thousand tons anyway. The larger target resource that is only partially defined, would need hundreds of holes but perhaps staying 3 months ahead of the ore is all you need to do. Having 100,000 tons to mine (1 year) is all one needs with mill built and major mine workings done. Here assuming a 100% hit rate, one hole develops an inferred 2500 tons, but it takes four more holes to delineate. So 200 holes of say 200 feet long to delineate the ore. 400 DDH's would be required in a 50% hit rate environment. So delineation drilling of 100,000 tons at close to 0.50 OPT could take 1.2 million to complete. An acceptable cost.
I believe we could be in line to develop three such situations. One is "hard" in that it is already developed and previously mined. Another is developed and mined but needs milling agreements so we will call that semi-hard. The other was mined some time ago and needs development and some grass roots exploration. Still depending on financing and other factors we could be in a three producer situation within about 18 months.
This would put legs under any stock I would warrant and is a great target for a new issue.
I am very confident of the future of such a mining enterprise in this market.

End of the Day in the Moly-Gold Mining Camp
Note Molybdenum Coloured Clouds
I fell I owe jjc an odd reply now and then with actual fact in it and no funny stuff. so here goes.
1. we have four moly properties "possible". Two are staked and in quebec and one of those has a widespread tantalum-rare earth potential. one has 300,000 tons to 120 feet on the surface of what may be 0.4 MoS2, ~30 feet wide.
To 300 feet, and in the mile and half long we can look, it may expand to 1 million tons. On the other hand, it may not expand much in any real way ecomomically. The nearest mill is 240 miles away and the moly recoverable at the smelter is probably worth about 80 bucks US. If it had 2-3 million tons to 350 feet we could build a small mill. chances are fair. Possible to build synergy with a moly producer in the area who also does not have a mill.
2. Two of the properties can be optioned. Don't know grade or tonnage but they are possibly open pit and the possibility exists that a mill within 100 miles may take the material. Chances? Good on all points.
What do we need for this? About 2 million dollars to make it workable to build potential to get mill/mine money.
Our gold stuff is more cogent and larger, but it is not easy to do. All the gold stuff is fraught with development difficulties in that we have to come up with ore, milling agreements and mining methods to make it work in reality. Chances of this are fair. Easy to poo-poo. And not easy to do for small money. we will get LOTS of flack on the gold projects. When you are public it is hard to take a "Fik-Em" attitude. But as elvis q. presley was fond of singing, "you gotta be strong", and as iggy pop was fond of adding "or folks will say you wear a thong"
There, that was a dead serious answer. any serious questions that we can answer without thinking too hard?

So is gold going up, or oil going down? Or both going up?
Ans: both are going up.
They are inflation related and not war or upset related. Although wartime inflation always hits gold and oil.
