Gotta go, but I'll start checking in more regularly. Nice chatting...

I saw what you did there...

Sounds like a great idea! They don't have any funny cars here, but they had a hum-dinger of a demolition derby last week.

Ya, I kinda lost touch. We moved to BC about 4 years ago and I don't think I've checked in since then. We're right on the border with Washington...I can see the border from my back yard. Lots of old mines around here...been doing some exploring. We went deep into some mines that no one has been in for 100 years. Too bad Urbie wasn't around to try and promote them again!

Hey Janice...how have you been? You don't call, you don't write...what happened to the love? haha

WT actual F? This thread is STILL alive!!!???

What shares? I don't buy this kind of crap, I just warn people about it.

Debbie Downer, that's me.

No diamonds, no claims, no money, no company. Nothing to see here folks except watching the perps go to trial. And then there's the occasional delusional sap that comes on here and rambles about a "payout"...that can be mildly entertaining...

Even $.0001 works out to a market cap of $80,000,000. Do you really think there's a chance of recovering that?

Ya, that too.

But on the flipside, he's going to rip up NAFTA and impose punitive duties on all those CMKX diamonds!

Stand your ground Bob. I wouldn't take any less than $.64/share if I were you.

Maybe I can get him to make me a "vanity plate". How about "GOTCMKX"?

Since both you and Howard have Dunning-Kruger Syndrome (essentially too stupid to realize you're stupid) maybe you could attend a support group together?

Jimmy...are you EVER going to make it to Canada? Every time I look at your signature picture you're still 100 miles away. What gives...something wrong with your sled?

Look up Dunning-Kruger Effect. Essentially it's a condition where the subject is too stupid to realize he/she is stupid. Write your own Xer punchline here...

Especially when we've been imbibing in the maple syrup...

Wow...just noticed that spell check changed my post from "Trump" to "Triumph".

Too funny Derfie...that picture is priceless. The last 3 you posted won't download for me though...would love to see them if I could.

That's right...the fat guy (well, fatter than the rest) was the heavy equipment owner from Moose Jaw, Sask. He also owned the drill. I met him once at the Geological Open House in Saskatoon...can't for the life of me remember his name though. Edit: just came to me - Emmerson Koch.

Bwaaahaaahhaaa!!!

Aw, too bad. That was sooooo funny. I believe Rendall was in the photo on the sidelines, and also Willie, who was leaning over Uribe's computer intently watching. The CMKM braintrust, all on one frame.

My all-time fave was the one where you had a pic of Urbie punching keys on a computer, and saying something like: "the password is 5 asterisks...why don't it take?" hahaha Can you find and post that one again? Pulleeeze?

Thanks for that vote of confidence! I will recommence work on my calculations...right after I recover from the holidays.

And I have been told that "within a few days to several weeks" I will unify the special theory of relativity with electromagnetism. But, alas, that isn't going to happen either...

Like my dad used to say, "some times life throws you a curveball, and you don't understand baseball well enough to finish the metaphor"...

I hear the crazy one who rushed the stage at the CMKX gathering in Vegas is available.

Wells Fargo has bigger problems...

Thanks a lot, Debbie Downer...

Breaking news! They found part of the missing CMKX (or was it CMKM at that time?) jade collection!
http://www.mining.com/miners-find-giant-170-million-jade-stone-in-burma/

You know what this means, don't you? Every share is worth at least, hmmm, let's see - $170 million divided by 800 billion shares equals, ah...carry the 7, times 80,000, equals: $.0002125!!!

You lost me at "Christian"...

Can't have a good US mining scam without playing the NI 43-101 card...

Good luck collecting...

Reuters) - Rusoro Mining Ltd , a small Canadian gold miner, said on Tuesday it was awarded more than $1.2 billion in damages as a World Bank tribunal ruled that Venezuela had unlawfully seized the company's gold mine.

The company, which had a market value of C$82.6 million ($64 million) as of Monday's close, had in March 2013 filed a statement of claim against Venezuela and was seeking $3.03 billion in compensation over the nationalization of its gold assets in the South American country. (http://reut.rs/2bCOhWa)

Venezuela had unlawfully expropriated Rusoro's investments without paying compensation, according to a ruling on Monday by the Arbitration Tribunal operating under the World Bank's International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes.

The tribunal ordered Venezuela to pay Rusoro $967.77 million in damages as of the expropriation date of September 2011, plus the interest due till the payment date, along with $3.3 million towards the company's arbitration costs, Rusoro said.

The Vancouver-based company, backed by Russia's Agapov family, had assets of $46,728 as of June 30, including $41,846 in cash.

Venezuela's mining ministry could not be immediately reached for comment.

Those outfits look skimpy compared to the outfits in women's beach volleyball at the Olympics.

No, inland. Actually right on the border with WA. (I can see the line from my back porch.) Did I mention the tunnel I'm digging?

Yer'all welcome in these here parts. Remember though, I now live in BC, which stands for "bring cash".

Hey...I represent that remark!

About 10 years ago, I was involved in a private operation where we were trying to recover gold from a tailings pond that had zones running up to .03 oz/ton. That grade was considered very rich for tailings. The average grade of the tailings pile was much lower.

A 10th of an oz in tailings is unheard of. The world's producing gold mines average out at less than 2 grams per tonne. Yep, sounds screwy.
