Bill,
I am a 40 year oil and gas geologist. I have spent the last 9 months brushing up on my hard rock geology and searching for mining investments. I actually remember the Bre-x scandal, as I remember a geologist ended up falling out of a helicopter. I enjoy your website and the videos you have produced. I appreciate your honesty in this video with regards to understanding where and how some one is being compensated to spotlight or promote a company, be it the CEO or an interview! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for listening and for your kind words. All the best.
