Confirmation!
I was at the Silver Summit this week checking on several of my mining stocks
(Hecla, Timberline, Azteca). Dr. Earl Bennett, retired Chairman of the Dept. of Mines at the University of Idaho gave an excellent speech on the health of the mining business in Idaho. After the speech, I caught up with him and asked if he knew Jim Browne, Dutch's Chief Geologist. Dr. Bennett enthusiastically stated: "absolutely! Jim is one of the very best and brightest geologists out there. Dutch is extremely fortunate to have him on board. Believe me, Jim will find the gold without any doubt whatsoever"
