I'm not sure that we agree on this. Take Barrick Gold, as an example: The founder isn't a "mining person". He purchased a company with good management and bad properties and another with bad management and good properties and put the two together, to make the world's largest and most successful gold mining company.

You and others on the board disagree on the Helmer management team. I see nothing wrong with their credentials: however, I believe that attempting to mine on USFS land is "Mission Impossible". Donaldson is an excellent Geophysicist and Geologist, Juan Gutierrez is a retired USFS Mining Engineer and Geologist, with years of small mine experience, Roger Gill is an excellent Geologist who worked for Asamera and was involved in the discovery of the Canon Mine, Glen Zinn has been CEO of Bell Copper Corporation, VP of Hecla Mining, and held numerous other management jobs with large and small mining companies and according to your research McFarland also has years of experience in the mining business. Again, insert-text-here.

I see no reason they can't be successful in Mexico, Chile, Peru, the Philippines, etc. if they can raise the money
