<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 1629291, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy folks,</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice article and good to know.&nbsp; Will it impact the supply of gold in an appreciable way?&nbsp; I doubt it.&nbsp; It&#039;s not much different than mining the asteroids in space.&nbsp; Will it happen?&nbsp; Sure.&nbsp; Will it be profitable?&nbsp; Perhaps.&nbsp; Will it impact supply?&nbsp; Not really.&nbsp; That&#039;s because it&#039;s very expensive &#039;supply&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is true for all natural resource commodities - gold, silver, oil, coal, iron, ad nauseum.&nbsp; All the cheap stuff has been found and what remains becomes more and more expensive to obtain.&nbsp; Up in Michigan there is a gob of very pure copper.&nbsp; This is &#039;float&#039; copper folks, and that&#039;s the best.&nbsp; Float copper are almost pure nuggets of copper that tend to float to the surface of the ground.&nbsp; They&#039;re still finding them all over the copper range.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=float+copper&amp;hl=en&amp;tbo=d&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=o2MMUd_iD4aM0QH8mIC4Ag&amp;ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=843" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.google.com/search?q=float+copper&amp;hl=en&amp;tbo=d&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=o2MMUd_iD4aM0QH8mIC4Ag&amp;ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=843" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/search?q=float+copper&amp;hl=en&amp;tbo=d&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=o2MMUd_iD4aM0QH8mIC4Ag&amp;ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=843</a></p><p><br /></p><p>What is interesting is that there&#039;s still real deposits but they&#039;re too deep and under Lake Superior.&nbsp; Makes for tough and expensive mining.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Whelp, it&#039;s the same thing for most every extractable substance known to man.&nbsp; Gold included.&nbsp; There&#039;s still lots to be found in nature, but it&#039;s harder to find and much more expensive to mine.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>peace,</p><p><br /></p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
