thomas back in the days when this forum amounted to more than it has in a while, there were always at least 3 stalwart pumps on board plus a handful of fellow travellers. There was the one who sounded like a retired prospector & wrote everything in one single run-on paragraph that nobody could ever read or understand. There was chilly james who did indeed eventually come out & announce that he was working for victoria. And then there was yourself.

i have to say that you 3 guys were the best & the nicest pumps that i have ever seen.

but this post is spin doctoring that's gone too far. There was no need to interview c williams at all. There is only one public script and we all know what it is. A million PR ghostwriters all over north america could have written this "interview."

however kinross has been speaking quietly between the lines ever since they bought bema in 2007 but refused to take up the 8 raul madrid nevada properties. It's possible that chad williams has been on an invisible timeline to prove up nevada ever since, except that he didn't know it.

the plain facts are that yukon has won. Nevada has lost. And victoria says good-bye to a helluva leader.

nevada geo thanx for interesting commentary. I am a former vit shareholder. Of late have been in-again-out-again. Was entirely out when the williams thunderbolt struck.

i don't know what to make of your summary of big springs from gateway. I just don't know enough. It seems unlikely there could be a "similar screw-up as cove" with the big springs property, because the histories are completely different former owners & previous drillers. It would be freakish for victoria to have executed "errors" in data transcription not once, but twice ... and from different drilling records.

seen from a distance, through a glass, darkly, it appears that the nevada days may be done. That the rift may have begun as long ago as when raul madrid began selling his shares. Is the rift with the directors ? with kinross ? are possibly marcus johnston & even chad williams himself being blamed for the data transcription oversight at cove ? are possibly the original 8 nevada properties - the madrid properties - being slowly slid into induced coma if not sale or euthanasia.

well put, cj.

the list is undoubtedly designed to showcase the RM companies. An ace promoter. Suggests to me that, with volume/price lagging in UXG, a useful strategy to draw in gold newbies would be to promise them a "safer" and "diversified" junior gold ETF that happens to include weighted proportions of RBY and UXG.

ps i'm a long holder myself. But if my theory has any merit it'll mean not much short-term pickings for swing traders.

we're not on the same page. i don't bother with kindergarten arithmetic and i don't understand your 1st paragraph.

but i'm sticking to my guns. My money says the focus has jumped north, way north to Dublin.

someone - not myself - once posted here that in the whole 18 months or so since CW took over there has only been one bonanza drilling result in Nevada. The aggregate Nevada story has grown just a touch anemic over the past several months. While they were looking for the potential cash cow. Now they've got it. All this explains to me why Raul Madrid sold some time ago.

but we're definitely going to see, right.

OK i think i get it.

the mine at Dublin is going to be the cash cow that will support the long-term drilling of the deep and very challenging nevada architectures ...

mcConnell will build it.

if this is true, then Dublin will be fast-tracked and Nevada wll be somewhat set aside for a while.
