Sean (CEO) on Meteorite Thesis and Steve Dobson:

Sean reached out to me to comment on some of the research I was sharing concerning the possible magmatic or meteoritic origins of PGM's in central idaho or the Idaho Batholith. I have since deleted many of these twitter posts of mine because they are extremely inferential and do not explain even foundationally as to why some of these XRF readings are so high in iridium, nor the implied ubiquitousness of PGM's across their claims. I will quote below because I think it is important to the conversation here:

Sean: "Nice work with the meteorite research. Dan, Steve and Guy have had a lot of discussions on it and believe it is a fragment impact from 67 -69 m years ago" .... "Steve thinks it's part of one that hit the Montana basin."

Me: "I am curious about Steve Dobson's background. I have not been able to find any information about him online. Does he have any PG or other geologist accreditation(s) that can be cited?"

Sean: "Steve graduated from Montana Tech with his degree in Geology. He was a State Geologist for Montana for over 10 years. He has worked as a field geologist for over 35 years. He has worked in mining, oil, and gas exploration. His specialty is gold mining operations and he worked with platinum group metals at Sweet Grass Hills Montana on the Gold Butte Project. Dobson's work in this area involved geological mapping and resource assessments, contributing to a better understanding of the mineral potential in the Sweet Grass Hills. His expertise in managing complex ore systems was crucial in evaluating and developing the mineral resources in this region, particularly focusing on the minor but historically significant gold and silver deposits."

Sean:"Steve was really instrumental here in looking into a meteor strike and platinum group metals as the reason behind the low fire assay numbers. He did extensive exploration throughout the area in the evenings looking at rock formations and started to see signs of a meteor strike."



Steve Dobson is the contracted geologist working at Sidney currently, employed by Western Frontier Mining Services. I am inclined to believe that the geological basis for PGM's is being investigated, but the puzzle remains incomplete. Nevertheless, what they have found out is enough to warrant investment of the company's time and resources in order to exhaust. I would like to take a step back from this precariously steep speculation we have found ourselves in and allow the company to come up with something more official concerning this subject, backed by redundant results of multiple analytical modalities, ie: lab assays, etc.

I remain very certain that this "foray" doesn't indicate anything wrong with SDRC's endeavor to sell gold. I believe it is just the opposite. They are handling such a large amount of money in the form of concentrates, that they feel the obligation to investigate and exhaust any and all possibility of leaving value on the table at sale; a process, if neglected, that can mean a difference in millions to many millions of dollars. This particular meteorite matter has snowballed into something that if taken to a breakthrough conclusion, can dramatically alter our understanding of the region and its geological past, possibly, in turn, attracting renewed academic interest (which may possibly also bring renewed economic interest) to the surrounding mining districts.
