right all right let's let's kind of dive into crypon here because it's really interesting you mentioned the greenstone belt where it's located um and obviously there's probably a lot of analogies obviously because rocks don't know borders of what was being explored in south africa but so what what it would be like Where are you at right here, and what does a meaningful discovery at Krypon really entail?
7:13
So I think what I'll do, Trevor, is I'll circle back to the analogy, which is CalGold.
7:19
It's been in production for 30 years.
7:21
Basically, it's a banded iron formation-hosted gold deposit.
7:26
The rocks are a little bit different than what some people would anticipate around banded iron formation-hosted gold if they're used to Canadian examples or some examples elsewhere in southern Africa.
7:37
It's a low metamorphic grade setting.
7:41
This is the descriptions of the mineralization from Cal Gold.
10:29
Are you beginning to see evidence of a larger kind of connected mineralized zones to make one big kind of bulk type of area potentially?
33:44
And I'm sure it's the same with, you know...
33:47
Well, it depends on what he sends to me because, like, sometimes he'll send me a poem.
33:52
So it's just like verse, verse, verse.
33:55
There's no chorus.
33:56
It doesn't repeat.
33:57
It's just a full poem, like the way a poem would be.
34:00
So if he sends me something like that, I'll immediately read it and think... which of these lyrics is best to be the chorus.
35:31
So do you think that gives you a different perspective on folk music?
7:09
John, what about you, man? What does this mean to you?
7:12
So, you know, a campaign like this is an opportunity for for for us to speak to men and all of their loved ones as well.
7:23
And and basically say, you know, pay attention to that little that little voice in the back of your in the back of your head and actually do something this month, this June, actually do something and to and to the loved ones, you know.
7:37
um let's let's get let's get let's help let's help the men actually listen to that little voice in the back of their heads and and actually do something so so this that's what this campaign really gave us it gives us the opportunity to
7:48
do and and to you know to graham's point when
7:51
when we were talking about the the idea and and his grandpa i think i actually think he said that his grandpa appeared in the seat beside him just for the record i'm just saying okay that the um uh that all of a sudden you realize, wow, yeah, I mean, suspenders are so like they were ubiquitous.
8:09
They were like everywhere.
8:11
And they're not necessarily everywhere now, but they were everywhere.

Yeah, t- tell, tell me where, when you started, and again, most importantly, have you made more money for shareholders than what you've spent so far?
17:15
Um, my, my career started, uh, as, i- in gold exploration and gold mining.
17:22
Um, I worked, uh ...
17:25
I've worked twice in the Red Lake gold camp, once for Inco Gold in the late 1980s, and then went back to Red Lake and worked underground at the, at what was then called the Campbell Mine.
17:36
Um, academically, during that period, I was working on a, a PhD thesis on gold mineralization at the, at the Col- at the Con Gold Mine in Yellowknife, where I worked underground there for a, a period of years, and then went to Red Lake, worked underground there for a period of years.
17:52
So that, uh, kind of informs my, the early part of my career i, i- in gold.
17:57
I also spent one season in the Hope Bay Greenstone Belt that probably some of your, uh-Your viewers are familiar with where Agnico Eagle just announced, um, a plus two billion dollar, uh, investment in the, i-in the whole Bay Greenstone Belt.

How come nobody's beat you to it? How come nobody's mining that part of, of the belt given that people are o- you know, on the other end of the border in South Africa?
