Highland Surprise Consolidated Mining Co. (HSCM)

good morning!

Lead is used in paint, batteries, ammo, weights, glass, radiation protection, solder, and many other things. Lead by itself is totally harmless. Lead in dust form or paint chips (eaten) is harmful. The mining of silver, lead, and zinc is generally no problem. The smelting of the metals is pollutive however all of the Idaho mines ship their concentrate to Canada for smelting or the concentrate is shipped to Korea, China and elsewhere for smelting.

Why now? I beleieve that precious metals will be going MUCH higher in the next few years. These properties are in the USA, not subject to illegal takeover by the government as is happening all over the world. Also, JOBS. When I visit the Idaho mines you see a sea of brand new Ford and Chevy pickup trucks- miners making "bank" for their families. Upwards of $100k+ a year per miner. Yes, it's hard work, but you can provide a fabulous living for your family on $100k in Northern Idaho. Many of these claim owners have been acquired one by one over the years at large premiums to the share price. Here is a partial list: Independence Lead, Kimberly Gold, Mines Management. I'll post some pictures next week when I have more time.
