Yet Another Gold Mining Scam: Abandoned Mines, Abandoned Money & Hope
Posted in About the news, California, Gold, Investing & Finance, tagged California, Gold, mining, scam on May 7, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Always on the lookout for mining scams, I came across the news report repeated below. This Californian scammed an elderly couple of $5 million promising to extract gold from abandoned mines. I can never quite understand how somebody who is smart enough to accrue so much money, can be so stupid as to part with it on the flimsiest of evidence–or no evidence at all. (more…)
Chile Placer Gold Mining
Posted in Gold, Mining history, People, tagged Alaska, Chile, Gold, placer miining on April 28, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Before coming to Santiago, I had thought of Chile as a place of copper mines. Today I learnt that gold was and is a major mined product of Chile. Today I lunched with two young geologists exploring the hillsides above an old placer deposit which, they tell me, financed the founding of Santiago and ultimately the country itself. (more…)

The golden rule of investing in a junior mining company is to ask and satisfactorily answer the question: who owns & runs the company? In reality, investors go for juniors because their story is simple; the time-line to profit short; and there is something exotic & mysterious about their ore body. (more…)
Die Liebe Der Danae: Opera Gold, Love, and Lust
Posted in brandy, opera, tagged Gold, liebe der danae, love, lust, opera, richard strauss, sex on February 5, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Music, in particular opera, has brought me far more pleasure than gold. I have a few ugly gold cufflinks—can you find shirt to wear them with these days? I have many gold rings; one sporting a one-carrot, yellow, Australian diamond. They are beautiful, and still fit my fingers after many years. But they are empty reminders of past times, past loves & joys, and a world that is gone. (more…)

Twenty billion mined product in Indian temple: the benefits of mining to the spirit
Posted in Church, tagged Diamond, Gold, India, religion, temple, treasure on July 5, 2011 | 1 Comment »
We all like to celebrate the value of mining. We all like to praise the benefits of mining and enjoy the good life it brings. I remind myself of the pleasure of the beauty of diamonds as I walk the halls of a northern diamond mine. I remind myself of the warm feeling of possession as I struggle the issue of the stability of a tailings impoundment at a new silver mine. Yet sometimes, I pause and wonder if mining is truly a source of the good life, or merely another in a string of human activities aimed at bragging and getting and exercising power. Maybe we do need mined products to buy the insurance of a good life after death by donating to the church or temple. (more…)

Mine Fence Memories
Posted in Africa, Mining history, Uncategorized, tagged fence, Gold, mining, South Africa, Uranium on April 20, 2011 | 1 Comment »
On a joyous Sunday we would pile into the 1949 Mercury and head for the mine sand dumps. In the boot (trunk) of the car, we had stowed corrugated cardboard cut from old boxes. These precious pieces of cardboard we shaped, as best we understood, like sledges. My father regularly drove us out to those piles of golden sand, so soft and warm in the summer sun. And here we would spend happy hours climbing up the sand and sliding down, and climbing up and sliding down, until we were exhausted and covered in the golden sand. (more…)
