Without a single assay sheet to base his estimate on, I think Stoddard's "proven reserves" can be dismissed pretty easily. Maybe a new term - "fantasy reserves". Not to mention the possible AZBOTR violation(s).

And, since Stoddard's estimate was for the four Gold Star claims (#1-A, #4, #5 and #8), only a third or so of the 180 Southwest Research samples collected in 1964 were on these claims. The remaining samples were on other claims. Interesting that ore reserves can be calculated using samples that are not even on the claims in question.

In addition, only 8 of the 15 samples discussed in the Lewis report (2005) were collected on the four Gold Star claims, making the Lewis report a little less relevant too.
