...THIN SKINS: The Caribou mine I just toured in Colorado has gone the rounds so many times, no one on planet North America, with the exception of FOUR-DECADE operator Tom Hendricks, can tick off the successive companies that gained and lost the THIN-VEIN deposit to lenders, banks, other companies and bankruptcy courts.

I am on record as saying that Calais Resources (OTO: CAAUF) will repeat the rapid-fire equity rise we last catalogued in a similar silver-gold mine developer: Comstock Mining (redacted).

Oh, and CEO and Chairman David Russell, who has a mixed record on making investors money, vowed to raise no equity at the stock price when I toured the property last week; that price was about 16 cents and traveling into a tailwind headed northeast, like most of these underground veins appear to be directed. Calais shares on the USA Pink Sheets are higher now and destined for loftier levels as the company solves the debt load and published its 43-101 summary of historic gold resources.
