Hi Bill, Interesting, good luck with it. Simon may be right about "unlimited" resources actually existing, but it may be more a matter of semantics rather than existing in the meaning of being available, which I guess is much of your premise (hope that mades sense). Be careful with that "good data" you quote of mine above. First, either you missquoted it or I made a typo. That should be as low as 0.03 ounces now. Most of these new low grade open pit gold mines can mine at 0.1 ounce and as low as 0.03 ounces per ton (as in around $10-11 per ton value), and there are a few down below that. Also, the figure of around a half ounce up to about the 1950s is very general. It depends on the decade (war time, worldwide recession, etc.), as well as a lot of economic factors. Lanny
