NOTICE:
Due to the high grade nature of the gold ore stockpiled on this claim,the area is patrolled and monitored. This Federal Mining Claim is located, recorded, and maintained in accordance with 43 C.F.R. Part 3800 and 30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.; 43 U.S.C. 1744 and all appropriate state laws. All persons are warned that disturbance of the monuments, surface, or improvements on this claim or removal of minerals of any type without permission of the claimant(s), will result in their prosecution under the appropriate state and federal statutes. HISTORY: The London Mine Group was developed on pollymetallic quartz veins associated with the Great London Fault. According to documentation by Singewald and Butler (1941) the ore mined between 1895 and 1910 averaged 2.895 opt gold, 2.858 opt silver, 4.13 % lead, 2.66 % zinc, 4.85 % iron, 6.11 % sulfur, and 76.8 % silicon. The most recent reports published by the Colorado Geological Survey state that remaining mine and stockpile resources range from 0.10 to 0.41 opt gold having a weighted average of 0.19 opt gold. Most of the Tonko #1 CMC289770 mining claim was formerly known as the Jewett #1 CMC94664 and the Jewett #2 CMC94665 mining claims that were held by London Mine Venture from 1935 through 1991. The stockpile on Tonko #1 was estimated by Behre Dolbear & Company, Inc. in a report dated March of 1985 to contain 172,000 tons of gold ore! MINING CLAIM MAP: GOOGLE EARTH VIEW OF CLAIM: HIGH GRADE SORTING OF ORE: This photo shows the limited number of employees hand sorting out the exceptionally high grade ore being transported from the mine. Only the highest grades of visible gold ore were hand picked off of the conveyor belt and shipped out for processing. The mine had taken out all processing equipment after World War I due to high taxation. The gold ore stockpile was created by using a small mining train that traveled about 1/4 mile uphill from the sorting facility and dumped along the mountainside for future processing. The round-trip for stockpiling was about 1/2 mile and the volume of ore that was stored now looms over the local area. Since the hand sorting crew wore thick gloves and the speed of the conveyor belt moved exceptional specimens right past the sorting crew, substantial volumes of exceptionally high grade ore was subsequently transported out to the stockpile.

Gene, I stand by what I said. It was obvious that Dean only joined this community to "dump" on Mr. Tonko's post. He was only removed from the forums because he asked to. According to him, he said what he needed to say. This community has always been very respectful of one another and It will remain that way. I have a very low tolerance for trouble makers, even if they are well respected and knowledgeable. This is the way Dan and I wanted it and it is the way it will remain. No, I do not think that your last three posts necessitate your expulsion. Why are you trying to make this about you now? Did I say anything to you or are you just looking for a reaction from me also? I would have reacted the same way if he joined the forums to only jump on one of your posts.
