" So please tell me again how great the Geo's, surveyors and lab techs are."
I'm sure they're not perfect, however I'm sure they have much more knowledge than you in advance of any drilling or shoveling. Hindsight is wonderful, but its the smart people who use their brains and research and make informed and intelligent decisions in advance. Maybe thats what lead me buying OMH at 8 to 10c and AIS at 4c. Both were long bets and not influenced by any HC hype ( unlike AUZ). The AIS bet has been a long time coming, more than 40 years.
The geos at Western Mining Corp were drilling in SA Olympic Dam and Torrens in the mid 1970's in South Australia.
Why?
Because they were great lab techs and geologists. To find the worlds largest Uranium deposit and world third largest Cu deposit at 800 metres was not done by being a fool.
You might remember me telling you I was in Kalgoorlie in the 1970's, Western Mining Corp was our biggest customer. Maybe thats why I was a WMC shareholder (taken over by BHP) and an major AIS shareholder today.
