[QUOTE="Goldtalk Leonora, post: 633378, member: 5638"] Spot on.....Many years ago I was out bush with an experienced Geo showing him some tenements Lisa and I had at the time. After a day of licking rocks he said to me that the ground he has just seen is some of the best he has come across (greefields) and that I could easily float a company based on it. He wasn't joking and as Lisa and I were usually on the bones of our backsides prospecting I listened with great intent. He told me about the basics of the process....how he could help...what it would cost and what we should make. Then after a very long pause he said to me..."or.....you could sit here for the next ten years and quietly dig up the gold yourself....not have anyone to worry you and see how you go?"....or words to that effect. It was a pivotel moment for us....we could have easily chosen money and gone down the corporate prospector road (and maybe be a lot better off than we are now financially?) but we chose to work the dirt and have never looked back!
