Terry,

I agree with Mike that what you posted is what alot of people will think. At first. The association that we are proposing is not about telling the mining industry how to do their jobs. People go into business, whether it is mining or any other industry, so that they can run things the way they feel they should be run.

We are not so arrogant as to tell others how to run their operations which is what you are eluding to in your post. There are many private people and private/public companies out there that lack expertise and/or manpower to perform many of the tasks required to take a project from exploration status to an operating mine. We will offer our assistance to get these people in touch with those that have the expertise and man power to assist them in their efforts. In addition to that we will also be able to maintain a record of reliability of the vendors. It is not always important to know the answers as long as you know where to find the answers and that is the essence of what we are proposing here.

I can assure you that I have never been a suit or a pat myself on the back sort of guy. I deal in nothing but results. All the effort in the world is not going to do anyone any good if they don't bring in the results that are needed.

Suffice it to say that I do appreciate your concerns because I am sure that I will hear them repeated many more times as we start the association. I will be very concerned if I am still hearing those same concerns being expressed two years from now. I am prepared to prove myself to you and the rest of the industry and all I am asking in return is the opportunity to do so.

Just a small correction to your post. I have never dealt with insurance. That was Mr. Marsh.

<<... Anyone can read it...>> And maybe that is why I said that. With the slow response on the First weekend in a public forum here, I was wondering. Will folks read it ( I looked on the Top Ten and Hot Links where it showed as #1 ) and still barely any replies ( First folks I do APPRECIATE THE RESPONSES). So, I said to myself. "Stock Talk", nothing has changed, I will just be myself ( subject to my Alais ...all) and just continue to do what I do. Chuck Bankes can and I am confident .. WILL take care of the quarterly newsletter. Heck, the guy will probably turn it into something not expected! Just like this Trade Association The NEW Western Mining Association, or some stock pick; it just might turn into something.. NOT REALLY EXPECTED! He priced the newsletter real ????? even though it isn't named yet ( Come On Mr Crebs help us out-This is an INVITE), so that all interested parties and all can ...read and discuss and share. Period. This thread is free, open and PUBLIC, yes June, I know.

strenlich - LOL. Guess which one of us is responsible for putting out the newsletter.

Richard - The stock price of public companies is what the name of the game is for those companies. For both private and public companies alike, the name is "time to market". For individuals investors it is about learning more about the details of the industry processes. All put together in a single source. You will also be interested to know that Mr. Runyon has become the first full fledged member of the association as of today.

Charles, <<Mr. Runyon has become the first full fledged member of the association as of today.>> That's all very nice, but what I really want to hear from Mr. Runyon is that Maxam production is on schedule. To tell you the truth, if I hear that Runyon is associating with CHIP, Naxos, and the likes of GPGI, I will sell my Maxam in a second. I don't want scam clubs and I don't want Maxam to go it alone, I want a major to JV with Maxam. The major's already have their associations.

Terry, I have been told that many mining companies were started by
people with no background in either engineering/mining or chemistry,
and the companies they started have provided ample dividend flow/share
appreciation to shareholders. regards-strenlich-

Richard,

Our efforts will concentrate on the areas where are membership is. The association will not bring together the individual companies in any manner unless those companies request us to do so.

What we are doing right now is compiling a membership list. This list will consist of the individual companies and a list of member vendors. If an individual company wishes to subcontract a service and they want to know who is available and offering adequate services for the least amount of money then we can go out and collect bids on the work for them from known reliable entities. This will help ensure that the members are going to be provided good service at the lowest available cost helping them to keep costs at a minimum and will also decrease any time and money wasted on those providing inadequate services. Members will not have any association with each other unless specifically requested by them.

If you take for example, one of Terry's posts on another thread mentioned how the Newfoundland government needs to be more flexible. Eventually we would like to be able to perform lobbying efforts. If bad laws are being proposed then all the companies will be able to pull their efforts to ensure that the decision makers are aware of the consequences of that particular law and can offer input to it as a unified body.

The newsletter is intended to be impartial. Any members wishing to join would have the option to introduce their company to all those subscribing to it. It will focus on technology and others opinions not my own and will also attempt to cover changes in laws governing the areas where the membership lies.

In regards to your interests, we are attempting to improve the value of your company. As others join we will do the same for theirs.

Rich, I want to talk Geology here, not chemistry or stock promotion. I want to post this GPGI link to the Thomas Report that in the first two paragraphs talks about the Laramide Layer. This is what is possibly a result of converging Plate Techtonics that happened eons ago ( 65 million years as oppposed to 16 million years ago which are the predominant mountains and ranges that WE see on the CD Rom at 3-D Exployer). This is what Jim Briscoe keys into at his search and twenty plus claims at Jaba based in Tucson, this is what Dale had mentioned to me as recently as yesterday..as simply important. We talked about rock samples and souveniers we both picked up in the desert. I think the one shaped like a double layer valentine that I gave by wife..is like one he took home to Peoria that has giant looks-like "Bear Claw Mark-Scratches" that he "put out back!" Us Rock Hounds are dogs for that part of the eons of time stories! And we talked about 4 different types of rock formation-types and he humbly said, a remark that say was an understatement about him and the word, "Geologists!" On the job training counts in my book. Now for some Laramide Layer mention scrapes from GPGI ( Bob Barefoot ( of DCRS ) describes the layer of the Nevada Carlin Trend as a plate Shear( maybe there is a better word-I am guessing on his quote -not infront of me) that came up so high and off cenentered backwards that it fell backward with in his EXACT WORDS ( Iluvit-Idoloveit!) the "Belly Up"-Do you see the importance of Laramide -now?) website ( This is not a scam -this IS geology with all these guys, CHIP and IPM might even have these influences for the Coined title of Bob Barefoot-" The Great Basin Gold Discovery!"):
gpgi.com
""The average annual rainfall is about ten inches. The mean elevation is about 2500 feet. The terrain is sparsely vegetated, rocky, and arid. Varieties of cactus, manzanita, and sage are characteristic of the flora.

The Oro Grande Mine is situated on about 150 acres of private property, nine patented claims, and is surrounded by about 1000 acres of lode claims under the same ownership.

Geology
The main ore body of the Oro Grande is the remnant of a laramide age, composite batholith, which has been sheared, hydrothermally altered, and mineralized.

hree major mineralized shear zones exist on the private property. These are characterized by hematitic alternations via hydrothermal fluids which have been active at several times since the onset of the laramide. These major shear zones can be measured to about 3000 feet length on the surface and 200 feet width. Significant nobel metal mineralizations occur within these shear zones. The shear zones are approximately parallel and strike about northeast. Major dip-slip faults cross cut the shear zones on the north and south ends of the property. These strike roughly northwest and are post laramide.

It should be noted that the widths of the shear zones appear to increase with depth, as noted by measurements at the 100 ft. level in the mine.

The lithologies visible at the surface are complex and are characterized by hematitic breccias, mafic schists, diorites, aplites, pegmatities, nornblendites. Sulfides and copper oxides are characteristic of many of the outcrops in the vicinity of the mine. ""
Chuca
P.S.- Invisable yes, but not...THAT - complex mineralization all over here!
PPS- The San Bernadino area is THE START of all this rippling thru AZ NV and all over this "Great Basin"...so KILO and Naxos just of may been envolved here with all this Plate Geology!!! For Desert Stuff in Californai, even..maybe that is Important to Naxos now!!

Sob, I downloaded to disk for future reading- I will ask Chuck how to nerd the Adobe Accrobat Reader-I have no clue-Don't have it:
""The Setting in Indonesia
Early Mapping of Busang
Exploring by Westralian/Montague
Backgrounds of Felderhof and de Guzman
John Felderhof
Michael de Guzman
Potential of the Site ""
Can you scrape any Laramide references since I ASSume that is why you linked! Many, many TIAs.
Chuca
PS-Is it the Early Mapping Section??? ?
