RE:Rick Rule
Redflame you are a monumental fool.
You use this 2.2km analogy which is utterly flawed because the lamaque deeps are adjacent to and beneath existing mine infrastructure from the old Lamaque and Sigma workings. I looked at this data in the 3D leapfrog software during the goldrush challenge and the lamaque deeps are maximum 500m from existing workings meaning you do not need to build a ramp from surface to 2km depth but can instead reuse much of the existing workings.
How about you do your own due diligence flame instead of worshiping Rick Rule? The mining industry is notorious for getting things wrong, being on the wrong end of the cycle, and making stupid purchases. Look at goldcorp - they bought coffee when gold was $1300 US, now it's $1200 - why didn't they buy it now? The industry is terrible at timing and valuations.
You also make the statement: "Sure other mines are as deep, but those mines mined ore all the way down." How about you load up GIS and look at their intercepts and historical workings and you'll see the gold starts at surface and continues steadily downward.
Please do us all a favour and don't post here again without doing any due diligence.
