Aaron - Interesting you noted the mining increase as of late. Down here in the Boundary i have a co-worker who's son got picked up on a prospecting crew and has been working all summer around the Pheonix complex checking old sites and testing placer claims. Funny though this seems to happen every few years when minerals are up and some wealthy outfit has money to dispose of before tax time, then dies out for a few years. This time whomever is running the operation bought the "mineshaft" restaraunt in Greenwood and i believe is using it as his chuck wagon for crew lunches. Maybe signs of future investment but only time will tell.

J_T - you are so right, but I think every one on here has carbon fiber barrels made by Taylormade/Reebok
- Stellar corporate citizens I agree, just check out how the Cominco group has operated over the years - yum I can taste that mountain spring water now
