I had a chat with a Geo the other day also, about gold exploration. She informed me, that gold forms in clumps, or nuggets. So, basically you can have two huge golden eggs, sitting 3 inches apart and send your two inch diameter drill right between them and see squat in the core. She says, gold properties take a lot to prove up because of this. Also, larger bulk samples will be required. So, if some investors are looking at retiring on this, you have a pretty good chance of realizing it (IMO), but don't for a second, think it will be tomorrow, next month or even this year (would be nice if I was wrong on the year part though)..
