great day for news, page-68

bigmac,

Thanks for the compliment, but I can assure you that no one is a an expert on the geology of Andewa except for Peter McNeil and the site geologist.

I haven't worked very much with porpyhry coppers but I've done my share in exploration of gold related deposits and research. I've also done some post grad studies with geos from many backgrounds and discovered that almost everyone was good at something but no one was expert at everything geological. I also found that geos from big companies had a totally different mind set regarding cost effectiveness when dealing with exploration. I worked for smaller companies and I'm happy to say that FNT think in the same mould. Geology is a very vast science. Economic geology in hard rocks is a vast science. Oil and gas are a science on there own. It helps to know the basics to interpret data but most of the time it ends there, if you haven't worked in the field, you are no expert.

I've found in the past years that people who study geology even privately, read lots of announcements, go to mine site visits, and use the web, even wikipedia is fantastic, are sometimes better at trading than pure geologists. They don't see something geologically interesting but can differentiate something to be profitable.

Best advice is to do as much research as possible. There's some good posters here who I've met personally. I think there's some more knowlegable geos regarding porphyry coppers than myself here also but they choose not to post often. There are a couple of rogues here as well, LOL.
