You still need to take many samples at many depths to determine how deep to mine or not to mine at all. That is very basic necessary mining practices. I can see some here have no clue as to basic mining procedures.

I know what placer mining is. You still sample throughout the entire claim to get an idea of the potential.

They have been mining all those claims up there for the past 100 years, and while they do find some gold, none of them has ever produced gold in viable quantities. That's why they are hobbiest and small mining operations. The content per ton mined doesn't average out very high which is why the larger mining companies haven't ever shown much interest.

You can find gold but it isn't going to make you rich.

It's not ore there at Wickenburg. It's placer. Big difference.
oil, you're doing a great dd job, but it won't sway those silly guys that have lost previously and due to greed became stuck holders and can't see the light if it was drilled into their sculls, lol

I am getting more at those low prices.
GLTA!
