Greetings, one and all. Just another one of a dying breed, a working minerals
exploration geo-type dropping by to say hello. I'm a refugee (g) from the
Earth Forum, somewhat bemused that there is rather little to do w/ earth
science over there. Mayhap we can fix that! A bit of my vitae: I work for a
copper mining company out in Arizona (though soon to be posted to eastern
Nevada for the winter to enjoy the deep-freeze).
Cheers! Scott M. – 72764,3211
Scott- a hearty welcome! While we do not have a zillion geologists here, we
have a goodly sized crowd including amateurs and professionals in many of the
Earth Sciences. Additionally, there are several grad students hanging out here
as well.
We will be having a Geo conference on Jan 9th with an opening topic of the
recent legal activities revolving around Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex and the
Black Hills Institute of Geological Research.
Can you mention which mining operation you are employed with.

Seasons Greetings from another one of the dying breed, minerals
exploration. I am happily persuing various types of base metal
deposits in Alaska. Seems like all my friends are moving to Chile,
I'm glad to hear you are active in the great basin. We really have
the deep freeze up here but the skiing is great! Try Mt. Hamilton if
you happen to have your skis with you when visiting the Ely, NV area.
I would be interested in knowing how many other minerals geologists
are using this forum.
Hi, Peter and Scott–
Welcome to the forum! I think you will never know just how many of any
particular sort of rockhound (I use a rather loose definition – anyone
particularly likely to look at a rock) visit this forum, since many visit only
occasionally, and who knows how many more may visit without ever posting a
message or without showing some particular interest of theirs. Showing your
interests as you are doing is the only way I know to get even a partial answer.

I'm a _former_ minerals type, lurking here daily but rarely posting. I worked
as a geologist for Asarco for all of '74, Cities Service Minerals in summer of
'75, then switched to geophysics and worked as a geophysician doing non-seismic
geophysics for minerals, oil, geothermal, precious metals, diamonds, and
groundwater. I was with Zonge Engineering until about '84, with St. Joe
American until they were bought by Alan Bond (who I think is now in gaol in
Australia) in '87, and have worked by myself since then. I've gradually become
a generic computer consultant as my geophysics business gave way to business
computing. This year ('93) I had only one short job I could call geo-related,
and that was training someone on magnetometers. Got a couple of geo clients,
but I do computing for them, not geophysics. My wife is a hydrogeologist, also
formerly a minerals geologist with experience throughout the west and for
several companies, mostly oil-company minerals divisions which as we know are
mostly gone forever <g>.
Yours in freedom,
