The first sure sign of spring landed on my shoulder today.... a friggin mosquito! I hate those little buggers, but it is the best indication of spring temperatures yet. Mother nature does not lie!
PS: I live in the eastern Fraser Valley, down river from both the Fraser and Monte Cristo claims.
Well mining it proves it, of course, but drill results and a buoyant price of gold are more likely on those big properties. We can't mine everything at once unfortunately.
