I only wish it had better crystals / formations. Ah well so long as it goes to depth i wont complain.

not really, i ve seen veins like that in many places, its just different fluids that came up with the quartz veins during formation. My high grade silver / gold spot for example has high copper counts, up to %6 in some samples. the blues and greens in pic related are copper sulfides like malachite and azurite.

Placer yes, for the most part. Placer claims on their own are cheap, $100 a cell = 40 hectares. Bonds can be a bit nuts for heavy equipment activity but not insane. My hard rock claims are different, I rarely mine those myself, I usually prove them up enough to either sell off to someone else or lease / option off too a junior miner for a percentage of smelter returns or other financial options. This hard rock gold claim I have from above pics I am keeping though, that I can mine by hand without trouble.

I have a friend who's put up half of the bond money, hes the logger how located the spot by accident a year ago while road building. Other than that no its almost all my own money. I am not worried though, even if it doesn't pan out, we get the bond money back once the gov gets photos that we didn't leave the area a mess.

If I ever need anyone I ll post a link to a job posting board that you guys can submit resumes to. At the moment I am getting ready to do drilling on the main property I am investigating right now, where shots like this one came from.

Heading to a place to dig tomorrow boys! Time to go get started on those ounces this season!

i paid the $120 claim staking fee on 14 claims, so $1600 total. I think all together I ve put $5 thousand into this property and its really worth it. Some of my asseys on the ore have come back 200 ounces per tonne silver, 14-18 grams per tonne gold and dozens of other metals in trace amounts. Its an excellent mineral property. I want to get drilling on it asap to prove it up to sell off to a major firm but i need to ship some of the crazy high grade ore off first.

government is saying we will likely not be allowed out in the bush this year. I wont be allowed to explore my mineral properties this season, however the gov as given all claims an extantion so at least i dont have to worry about any of them forfeiting. I was really hoping to get out on my gold / silver property and maybe move 100 tonnes of ore this season to the trail smelter to make some cash. doesnt look like thats happening now...

it really is, i spend all winter cooped up in my office looking at mineral titles and magnetic maps. Than all summer involves me driving around the province sampling, digging holes camping, hanging out with tree planters. Best feeling on earth is finding a nice new road cut with a quartz vein, visible gold just sitting there, and its not staked yet.
