I am a relative noob at prospecting, was always going to do it "some day" but work and family things got in the way. Last year I turned seventy and realised that there were not going to be many "some day's" left, so I got cracking! I have relative monopoly access (not a claim) to a prospect that I am working that has shown some encouraging signs but it has some geological mysteries that I would like some advice on! As you are a geology student, the adage; "a friend in need is a friend in deed" springs to mind, maybe we could help each other! If you are at all interested, I will give you my contact details. Cheers, John.
		I try to learn from the mistakes of other's, I haven't got enough time left to make them all myself!
