To The Captain,

Great post. The financial services industry has managed to lose more of my money than it has ever made me. I wouldn't worry one little bit about not having a piece of paper. The fact that you are here is a convincing argument that you know what you are doing. Good Luck.

I have a piece of paper that says I am a mining engineer. I am qualified to sign off on JORC reserve statements. When a JORC resource is used to calculate a JORC reserve it must be economic and profitable to mine. That is one of the requirements.

I am qualified for JORC but I am apparently not qualified to give advice to punters who want to invest in mining stocks. Generally financial service sector won't invest in mining stocks until they have seen the JORC statement.

Doesn't make sense to me either?
