    500 jobs and a predicted 2 million ounces of gold for the taking.

    Mining company keen to reopen Gympie'''s Eldorado gold mine again - ABC News
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Maybe it is Fool's Gold but doubt it really. Not for 350 grand.

    There have been various schemes and plans to reopen Gympie mines further, for longer than you have been alive, Bob.
    At this time, there isn't the technology to drain the current holes in the ground.
    Cue for Saitch to chime in with his wisdom.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Quitter! You get a 18v battery drill + a 10,000 ft x 5/8" extension Drill with heat tempered tip to get through the Earth's core & away you go. If some bloke in the Canary Islands has a leak in the Garage floor it's not your worry. Let him get a Plumber in.

    Let it drain for a couple of hundred years & Bob is your mum's Bruv. Then you bring in the Prospecting blokes.


    Job Done.

    I feel sure the re-prospecting people would now be wondering why they hadn't come up with this idea previously & now would be slapping themselves on the forehead..


    PS. If Steve was here I am confident this is what he would recommend.

    Suspect the places I used to prospect and pan a little as a kid are fenced and security now Ian.

    With Gold at $2700 AUD or USD$1949 ish even a 1/2 smart high cost miner could make some dosh. Freeport, BHP and the cools sounding Gympie Eldorado Gold Mines Pty Ltd.

    Big wet holes in the ground can be cool for pumped hydro electricity
    Gympie Gold goes into liquidation

    16 years ago was clearly a hole in the pocket as well as the ground

    That's good, we could claim Royalties on the Pumped Hydro it being a new idea You have to get some Royalties back for the outlay of the drill etc What are they today, $80-$90 I guess?

    I'm only a pup Ian, it just seems like I've been around for ever Not another " buy the Harbour bridge scheme " is it?

    Andrew Fisher, former Gympie gold miner who became PM and led Australia into WWI, would be pleased.

    Put it this way Bob, I won't be investing my lunch money in it.
