Spotted some of the Dula GDL2050-2 lamps I supplied Western Union with a good few years ago. Nice to see they are still doing good service.

I attended the PDAC Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada there in Toronto nearly 10years ago now. I met several ex CSM old boys there. They told me even then that Crofty would never get off the ground and work again. All this crap about looking for valuable trace elements in tin etc as marketable commodities, much like all this lithium rubbish. They should be looking for TIN:guns.They more or less said even back then it was all a scam to lighten the pockets of stupid greedy investors after a quick return.

Would it not be a lot quicker simply to list the individuals/companies/stereotypes that you actually approve of?
