Really need to wonder exactly what the French would have allowed day before yesterday to learn 3 were going to murder 12 people? Or USA to learn what 19 were planning to do by Sept 10, 2001? Early Monday after, anyone can win Sunday’s Super Bowl! Entirely true person will say anything to avoid pain/pressure so alone proves nothing BUT can confirm what you think you already know from another source and elsewhere.
USAF Air Crew Survival Training School 21 day TDY was something none ever forget. Mar ’64 was being run by Capt John McKone who’d been captured at sea from a shot down RB-47 well off Russian coast. Spent time in KGB Lubyanka prison and exchanged after 7 months facing trial with a death penalty. Met John and said hello at a class welcome reception for our week’s before Nav/ Bomb graduation class along with a group of new F-100 jocks up from George AFB. Funny was? Oct 1966 my B-57s were assigned with many of them in 2 Huns Sqdns in SEA at Phan Rang AB. Co-pilot and John, Nav/Bomb survived and he ran the prison camp 3 years later in KGB style. Capture in mock attack crawling across snow field, freezing solitary cell, harsh interrogation, stress positions and finally stuck in a hole in the ground, metal cover with a big rock in the bottom. Sun was rising over N Reno, Stead AFB where air races now held and was getting unfrozen some so curled around the rock and took a nap. Actually worst felt? was my questioner had my personel file and called my Mom a whore as had a different last name. I knew It would not be unbearable too long as we had snow survival all next week in the National Forest CA side after last weekend of 21 days off . Still was realistic enough to think this might stop if I just do what the fellow asks for. So to remain true to POW code of conduct not so difficult. All assembled in Prison Camp the ranking Major and Captains were pulled one by one for the treatment and I was senior 1st Lt so became Senior Ranking Officer at final point we were released. Final order I think was , “Let’s go get some place warm!”
In 1973 Lt Col John became my Deputy Base Commander when I was Spangdahlem Airfield Manager and as big a pain in the ass as ever wanting Colonel’s eagles so bad would do about anything. One day I was supervising unloading Nucs off a C-141 end of the runway whlle he ran a Command Post exercise I halted by closing the runway as the landing exercise F-4s were blowing rocks and drag chutes all over the Munitions crew. After roll out you drop the chute and blow it off the taxiway with exhaust. I got an irate call back at Base Ops after I finished and reopened the strip for the C-141 to depart and exercise could restart the scripted scenario. He began chewing my ass. I said, “Col McKone? If I’d had to call a Bent Spear ( Nuclear weapon damage incident less than Broken Arrow but immediate report as Pinnacle right up the DOD chain ) on your silly underground play acting? We’d both be looking at Leavenworth Kansas not Moscow and the trial would probably be held”! He sputtered off. We were not best buds!
As with a lot of people in command positions, I respected what he’d done, was thankful for what he’d taught me but found him an insufferable little tyrant seeking personal gain through those he could control. Probably harshest case of non-combat reactive PTSD among all I knew in a period where we nearly all suffered from the same un-named malady by constant danger . “Duck and cover era” ; End of runway crossing line, off to H-Bomb war past Fail Safe no recall. Came back to haunt anew in post Cold War , 9-11 era.
About Spring 1983, combat disabled retired since ’77, I was taking my college roommate , Dave Cox, to the San Antonio airport from a ceramics show in town going back to Weber St U, Ogden UT where he was Dept Head Ceramics Prof and resident artist. Turned a corner and there was John and we both dropped our jaws In surprise. Was wearing his eagles as Base Cmdr Ellsworth AFB KS as I found nearing 28 years Retired and I said, “Hi John, how ya been?” and we walked away. End of near 20 year story work out.

So far gold/mining equities are holding value better in 2015 than the major equities indexes are. The only reason stocks are still holding their present levels is because the Fed is not raising rates (yet). If I’m buying equities I’m sticking with the very undervalued sector/companies, and that is us!
PT has been very quiet the last week, but in my opinion here is silence is golden!
Will be most interesting to discover what made an acceptable offer and consider what seems 2 other competing were not. I assume some is synergy with neighboring miner giant. I’ve used the name pretty often and not been given much notification it’s wrong. Could be card table decorum covering real move but location of discussions seems correct. 8
“Exploration continues to be the key growth driver for the Fresnillo Group, in both greenfield and brownfield regions.
The Group has four Exploration Offices – in Zacatecas, Toluca, Chihuahua and Hermosillo.”
Looking at GRC’s drill results at Alta Gracia they might want to consider changing their name to Silver Resources :-). Seems like their properties are amazingly consistent at finding great silver deposits, though the San Juan vein looks pretty promising for gold. Should be interesting to see how long it takes to get the second property online.
Gold Resource Corp was a ’98 spin off name from US Gold once named Silver State Mining. Clever names both as folks speak of US gold price and having discovered a gold resource. Actually the initial property Pepe took them to even before US Gold sold to Rob was a Penoles played out silver mine in central Zimepan. Property adjoined held by 2 sisters passed from their dad. David drilled up nothing even from down in the Penoles miles of tunnels. My 1st experience with Penoles was quite generous in allowing the drills down below but a hit’d expanded their resource as well. Quit and visited Oaxaca old hill top mine shaft El Aguila and found a rich deposit 2nd try in 2003. Good gold, great silver then tunnel polymetals as open pit dug out in a planned year. US Steel once ran the giant Yearington copper deposit now reopening and Union Oil did metals drilling in explore all across Nevada. Name of the game is making money not the name game so call it what you will. Names do get wildly off when an IPO is purchased so Mexus Gold was changed from Action Fashions. But isn’t action always in fashion in mines? Guess the Louts and Flouts’d prefer name
INaction Fashions. 8
Was wondering how long it would take to start questioning your posts on IHUB. One of the moderators, who should NOT be a moderator, lode making me rich, just posted about ramblings being posted, obviously aimed at you. Either IHUB or one of the other mods removed the post a few minutes ago.
I posted my thoughts a few minutes ago. Let’s see if it gets deleted too.

We as shareholders or interested parties in Mexus Gold, of course are here to talk about Mexus and its dealings, prospects, potential.
However, I believe we are also here to build community among ourselves. So learning more about each other when there is a news void is a good thing. It supports the company and may lead to more interest in the company, not less.
I would argue that allowing the largest shareholder in Mexus to give us some of his background and post articles like John Embry’s is a positive for all here. The article actually referred to the type of situation Mexus may soon be in, a very small producer with a very undervalued market cap.
What say we allow a certain amount of discourse, with the goal being to build a positive influence on the Mexus share price and market cap?
