I am not a risk taker (i.e. gambler). Of course, everything in life has risk, but I no longer find it interesting or fun to throw money at slot machines, or even at the black jack table. I really detest Vegas, spent way too much time there over the years. So, I guess the answer is no to the gofundme question.
On the other hand, I find the concept of drilling a hole and wondering what you might find to be fascinating. Especially if you have a theory, and the data says something might be there. That's why it is especially frustrating for me to hear that there is a compelling story, the science is good, etc. at Hay Mountain. Yet I see no hard evidence of that, just a career promoter using pinksheet promotional tactics, and insisting on secrecy at every turn.
I have to admit that drilling anywhere in that part of Arizona has some chance of turning up something interesting. But without any data to look at, I wouldn't put a nickel into it. And good luck convincing JB to go with a 6-hole, thousand foot deep air rotary drilling program. I think it is more than enough to either make a discovery or show that no significant oxide zone exists. IMO, JB won't go for it because more than likely, it would be the end of his Hay Mountain project.
