40 years on. 30 April 1975

It  was about  a 20 minute  drive  from our house  in Stahl on  the  tiny Nimms River  outside  N.  Bitburg to my  office, 2nd  floor  Base  Ops   Spangdahlem Air  Base and   Eifel  NATO Military radar  control tower.  Parked  my  spot,  Base Airfield  Manager, and  walked  up 2 flights .  Giesela , my  secretary, met me  at  her  desk and  told me Saigon had  fallen!  I took a  deep breath, sighed, “What a  loss!”  Thought of all the  friends   long  gone and  got  to work keeping  the  future  together hauling  nukes  around  the  ammo storage/ preparation area  up to Alert  facility on ready  24/7 .  Takes  convictions from childhood answering,   “What  is an American?”  Someone  tell POTUS.  DIP

Thur 30th update

There’s a  30 sec placer  video I seem to have  missed in  PR. Told  haven’t seen it . Still don’t . From told  what  cant be  confirmed? I’ll say  the .8 gram /ton’s  a  bit low.    Always get  a  PT chuckle at my  “surmises” .

Called  here at mkt close.  Just  getting  back from Mexco  last  weekend  with  old  explore  buddy  Warren who is  acting  as  advisor on shaft. Very impressed with  quality of  ore  and  set  up in the Julio vein. Feels  can do  50 tons  with  2  heads mined taken out  as  slurry  to the lift.

New  BoE says then .25oz X 50  = 12.5 oz  = $15,000 low,

5.5 oz X 50  = 275 oz =$ 330K  high,

daily

 

Now  believes will hire licensed  blaster  for  certain   to set  charges then  leave  rest  to own crew.  Placer  is  beyond  expectations  at times  and I think the  10-15 oz  are  well kept up  but  he  will not  confirm that’s on  hand  until is banked. Says will pay bills  forever  but never be  enough for  a pure profit but  is bookkept for  family  share when totaled  up and  all running  in veins recovery  which will be  much much more. Had  dinner  at Pioneer  Steak Fri with  Mark  and environmental  team who will permit  the  new  operations and  found  a  very  friendly  bunch.  Cost  2  great  steaks  and  cerveza.

Was   leaving  for  home  from meeting  now  with JV partner in Reno   and all is in  attorney’s   hands  to complete for  signature   soon as late  next  week.  Says  nothing  more  for him to consider if  done  as  agreed to.  Will be a  good   cash  buy  in offer and  a  30K meter  R/C drill program and 43-101  Resource  proven  this  summer  started  to prove  up initial  1 mil oz  the  immediate  cluster veins  in Maria Elena then  core step outs  to include  leach materials  with the  ball mill recovery  under way.  Their  role  will be  to design   and purchase  all needed equip and  materials  for pads/ ponds  and   MC recovery  he  doesn’t  already  own.   Asked me  to please  tell friends /OK anyone…  not  to sell ANY   at give  away  until details  are announced. My say? Let em sell, friends  buy.  Two names  can’t  be  said are I believe are still  Reno HQ Argonaut  who he  says has ample  ready  funding this  summer  and  Fresnilllo  who he  says was a  decent  cash offer  but  a terribly  slow pay out while  delays  were  built in  for resource  drilling  when they had time after immediate  area projects and  unacceptable  small ownership for  us. Placer still run separate  for family split  unless I’m wrong.  He  feels they should be  well rewarded for  150% efforts last  4 years. OK , us too just in  the other  20 sq Km’s !

What he  hopes  is   he’ s done  dragging  sorry  ass  over hell and  creation  to enjoy   birthday  tomorrow  at  home and  we’ll meet in  Nome  come  Aug 25th for   halibut and   Nome  nuggets on  Paulie’s   ship.  Container  with all needs  is  in  shipment  15  days  to Homer.  to be  an claims  by   early July  working  out  the kinks.  Well experienced sea tug  Captain is  setting  up to go.  Bunch of  invented  stuff  will blow  Nome  minds  to see.  Prospecting is  by  a torpedo   shoot grabs  a  bottom sample  for  assay  before any  dig needed. Close  sealing  clam lips  will not allow  the   dumping  the  backhoes let  slip with  few times  more  hauled  up. If  on the  sea bed?  Goes in  the  hopper and  wash.  Probably  see   major  equip upgrade in  the  diggers  next  season ’16 Bering  Gold. Just  2 geezers gone  fishin. Make  that  rich  geezers! ( zook, put)  8

BTW : Happy  Happy  74th  birthday ,  Paul! Job  well done my  friend . Find  a  pretty lady  to smack you one  and  another to grow  on! Don I

Seeking no write off .  PT says big  time  legals  are  seeking  $ returns . Sounds  like Atzek’s pissed more again FPS  than us ! 8


“62 yr old beat up n bent retired? British and Italian sports car mechanic/shop owner. Mphs Tn.
  got the roundthebend from Neville Shute
  mexus occasionally makes me feel like “On The Beach” lol
PD responded with “not the same guy” right after I sent you the email.
   still nothing on First Pursuit.
       Me thinks it’ll be a good write off.”
 I’m glad  he’s  through . I wasn’t  sure if  he’d  survive  the  long  hauls  between  NV and  Sonora.  Mexus not  1  trick pony  but  is  sure a 1 man show  until feet   firm planted next to a  leach pad. I for  certain know no one  else  with that  capability in him.  8
Rapier:
“Eight, as always thanks for the update. I’m liking even those low end estimates on Julio at 50 TPD, works out to just under $500K a month! Placer could add another $175-250K a month to that. Having both ends working will turn us into a real honest -to-goodness productive mining operation!
Happy 74th to PT, hope he has a great one with the family.”
idontlob:
“Thanks for the update and good news, Eight. Hopefully this will turn out to be a great birthday present for Paul….he certainly deserves it.”

Nothing’s been said since Apr 3.

Got  confirmed Is NOT the  same  Mark Warren of  Colorado.   Pick another  from the  24 or  so on LinkedIn and  wont be  him either.  Saw it  immediately and  told  self highly unlikely  need  to jump conclusion way down under  for long time  Aussie  mine big  wig.   Looking  for  guy  with a fuse  lighter and own  rock drill. Appreciate  the  effort  but do the  cause  no good by  not  a simple  fact  check . Does it  even sound  right.  Reason  I do some   interpolating  is  I hear  about  all at  some point and  balance  with  need  to   know  and possibility. This  weren’t  that.  Kinda ruins  a  swell PR  with aftertaste. Got rocks?

 

Got  tail shot off doing  what I felt  correct prior  Silver  Pursuit  meeting on  8th and  have  not  spoken since.  Mark Warren had been described  as  a  unnamed  Colorado experienced   hard rock  miner  with  nothing  about  Australia. Closest I come  was first  Sonora  Magnum shares  were an Aussie  OTC as  easiest  to list.  If  any  have   more  ID speaking  with PT would  connect   Outback  with Denver.     All possible  but a long long  hop  for BoD meets.  9000 miles  DEN- PER, far  west  coast , 20 hours plus   a  date day come  and  go.  Happy  to be  confirmed same  expert wandered  to Caborca outback as  well.  8

4 Pics = 4K words

I’ve  always told   to SHOW the placer   gold. Back  over 2  years  was  a near  pound  solid rock the  trommel  ejected  as  waste. Recall?  Cause   to have a lowly  peon check the  rocks pooped  out.  Dorly’s  got a similar washed out    few gram nugget, Tom’s  the  surface   detected  piece and   she’s also  a Julio   shaft  face  free  gold  fleck assayed  6 oz  ton.  Precisely  my involvement  despite  the  total idiots  who know  nothing  but  own prejudices. Thank goodness  the  real minee’s  can see what’s  actually  there  if  we get  a decent offer or  no.  One  will step up or  he  will simply  go it alone  as  any reasonable  owner  should  expect. I will for  sure and  gets  close  to majority of one and  a few brights who listen once  again .  Small told ya’s  so long  ago.

Endless  naked  shares are  Market Maker way of  life.  Make  up the  game  as  it goes along  and  some  cash flows either side  they take. 8

“Nothing like flashing a little gold to get people’s attention. Didn’t hurt the stock price either. Waiting for the RB idiots to complain about Paul not being at the mine while he is meeting with potential JV partners. And when he is at the mine they complain about not having a deal. And Amadeus posts that nobody is shorting Mexus but the average shorting volume the last two days is 465K, about 65% of total trading volume:

Tee-putt, birdie on par 3

Photo PR hit  Kitco 1:28PM

Names in PR  are  Warren he  speaks for  some  time  as  experienced  underground  CO miner and  NV Argonaut  Mining . Quite unlike  the  jerk off  posters PT’s  a well respected   miner and  biz manager   for  near half  century known  by most in  the game if  for no other  reason  ‘cept  I tell them . So if you  bother  to listen to some  total idiot tell you all they know  about quartz stock zone  placer runs w/o have a  look see?   Deserve all you get. Plus  the chime  in Louts who  2nd the  nonsense! Their  ticket’s  punched  to 1st  stop after Hell , no return. Lovely thing  ’bout  ridicule?   Self imposed usually.

Here’s Just  a  Lout

“The 2nd go around with the placer was supposed to turn this stock around and we now know that didnt happen.  ”

NOW A Great White: Jokes  are  funny   HMS GW!  Many  of  us  try to read AND understand 50% plus level.  Remedial English Prof says    at least  try!  For our  sakes suffered long.

“PT hard at work? Hard at work doing what?! What a joke. ”

 

Amazing  how life  goes on.  Now   we now  why  Gran and Gramps  spoiled  us and  Mom and  Dad  couldn’t  keep up. Responsibility for  day to day stuff.   It’s always been funny to hear  all the  people  Mexus has  ruined  by  apparent  false statements certified   by  signature  on placement  applications. All 5 pages  attest to  being  fully informed and   personal assets   mean  can afford  to lose  some  or ALL. Then  come on to admit they lied to “get a  good  deal”.  Market  buys  mean  it  was the best offer  at  the  second  they bought with  best  info at  the  time.  SEC penny share  rules  are plainly  stated each filing. But  yes it will get done  due  time and  greater  fool will be  all who  dump seeking  the even greater to take  their offer at  the low  end.  But never  try to confuse  HMS Great   White   with  an ability to read much.  Some recall he  came  aboard  my  Gold  Resources  RB with  his  guru  Amigo Mike.   Was  funny  the  contempt shown from  former  PRXI  owners. I’d no opinion  but  could  see   soon there  was  no possible  hope  for my original “Lout”  as  we  see  7  years  on.  Then we had   Wm S Gilbert, whom I borrowed  the  term  for  silly  country fool,  became   “HMS Gilbert” ( is it  some  dyslexia? )   And  completed  “HMS Great  White Lout”  drove  John Doody  wild  with laughter following   the   constant  inanity on  msg  bds.  So today’s  placer  nuggets  I’ve  had   washing  over my hands since Sept 2012 are not  much new. Would  drive  a Nome  dredger  total  bananas along  with  fine  gold weigh out much less effort  !  Placer  switch was  an immediate need  only  due  to small  2  concrete stock tanks  where  well was  drilled  that  summer needed   to be  greatly  enlarged  for  any  progress and  turned  to 90 degree best  gravity  flow.  I think the PR explains  the  now  needs  very  well.  I can see  how  no miner  expert  can deny  what  Paul’s  shown them  as I told “Let’s  get  this sucker  running” at old  3  wire gate as  we left  the   dusty trommel set  up .  Sure  no ego, just  a  fortune involved. I’ve  done  enough in a long  active  life and see  little need  to expound  what  few  accomplish, thanks. Again  Pilot  fish  around  the  hunter  applies.   8

 

“Hi Don, Mexus appears to be bottoming, the stock price is showing interest on the bid, almost a half mllion shares on the bid at .015. Once things turn they will turn very quickly. Paul Thompson will get it done, underground mining will happen, and then we’ll see where it leads. As for me, I am blessed with the birth of my 3rd grandchild, a boy born April 24th at 12:26 am. Jackson Daly at 6 pound 7 ounces has arrived. I fly to Denver tomorrow morning, by afternoon I’ll be holding Jackson in my arms. How great is that? Mexus will take care of itself, and the rest will happen as it should, in its own time.”

  1. “Eight, I’m glad you extended the blog. Nice to have a stress-free platform for communication for another year, far from the madding crowd of bashers. Hoping for some good news from Paul soon regarding ramping up production and getting our paws dirty doing some underground mining.”

    1. Let the buzzards strip the road kill carrion. Rising late , closing early on own schedule since absolutely nothing comes from our poor power to add or detract so most will little note or long remember. Product is all and comes sooner than later. Perhaps, nothing to do better will start ripping each another. Seems all it takes is simple sentences, few commas and NO appostrostrokes. Victor Borge said it all way back when, first in  his ’56 concert  (put).  Later  on Dino  Martin’s  show (put). 8

Fool-low cash too

Oughta  read “Follow   Cash 2”. Tendance   is  alla’s be  cutesy .  Jeeze , shown  my  60 year old  grammar  errors!  Thankgawd  I been now  better  taught by a master.

 

 

NOTHING I know  espouses pure  hatred except  great profit.  Everything  from “Ruined  family  fortunes”  to “We believed  your  lies and all live in  our un-panelled  basement to rent  the ground  floor”! total nonsense posted. ANYTHING I have  examined  in detail and  support is both   at  fault  and  guilty of grand   theft.  Go figger. who was  EVER 100% anything? Life  of  public  service  I see  as  still serving  .  I’ve  no secrets  thus  any  can  see posts  but  will have to post own lies  on a public   board  for all to see  the bile and  guile.  Blogging  has  littlest negatives   so I hang here. Members have my  email if  private need as  ever  but  is  a PUBLIC stock involved  and  all  I Iearn  you  will know as  ever.  Kick rocks  Belgie  said. 8

Some jerko still chattering grammar?

“speak/write clearly, with proper grammar”

Hey  big  fellow, organize  and lead. Not  seen much if  any   from you at all. I see  6 posts since  ’11 and  gigantic  2  this  year alone   saying? You gave  up. Hardly  follow my sword.  More like  fall on  it.  Here’s   more like support for  good  discussion which you  COULD strive.  Wont  hold  breath.  8

 

“Cannot imagine what craziness the hate team came up with — I turned
around from this morning to a few hours later and the new IHUB board
is gone??   
Did anyone even give you a reason?    I wish there was a completely
private forum where those of us who are simply interested in Mexus
and other miners could talk w/out having everything out in public.

I may poke around to find some other alternative choices for Software
that would be more private than your blog.  It’s nice and you have more
control but still obvious that the haters read it and it just gives them more
ammunition…    Ideally there will be something that only invited members
can read and participate. 


Best regards,”

Not  a single  word just  as RB a  year back.  I see it as  proves the  enemies continually TOS attack
Mexus, Paul AND me just  as  described. NO possible  other  reason than active cooperation with those  wishing  to harm Mexus we see for  years. Assume  just  some  really  dumb fellow  travelers  we’ve also known years cutting MXSG  PPS throat  to spite face.    8

ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT WITH FRESNILLO PLC

Orex has signed an Association Agreement with Fresnillo Plc to explore the Coneto Silver-Gold Project. Orex and Fresnillo hold extensive contiguous mineral concessions in the Coneto Mining District, which collectively total approx. 17,600 hectares (43,000 acres) and cover more than 40 known mineralized epithermal quartz veins. A joint technical committee, with both Orex and Fresnillo representation, will manage Coneto.

Fresnillo PLC has an option to spend up to US $6,000,000 USD before February 2015 to explore the Coneto Silver-Gold Project in order to earn 55% ownership, and has the right to earn 70% ownership by advancing Coneto to the pre-feasibility stage, or by spending US $21,000,000. As of December 2014, Fresnillo PLC has spent US $5,300,000.
