That was classic. I mean, he doesn't miss a beat.
Well, the money we send to Ukraine and they can't find $100 billion of it.
It's not a lot of money. No, it's not.
America's a big business.
And we got a president now that's a business guy. Yes. I don't wake up every morning to see what the fuck he's done. I know that the business is in good hands and he'll take care of it. Because when you drive through it and you see what we got going, you realize, man, there's people trying to make it right. And most of the people in America are good people. It's not racists. They're not sexists.
They're not bad people. Most people that you see every day are just good people.
Yeah.
And the ones that want to shut the mining industry down, I'll use gold as an example. By the way, gold's gone up 1,000 an ounce since I saw you last.
It's 3,000 bucks an ounce.
They're talking about backing a crypto coin with gold. It's better than money.
Yeah? Gold's where you find it. That's the bottom line, Joe. Right. But once you make a discovery, let's use load gold, which is still in the rock. Plaster gold, what we do, has been eroded out of the rock and is in the concentrates on bedrock. And you've got to wash it and sift it and sluice it. But load gold, you've got to crush to get the gold out of the rock.
And so from the moment of discovery until you produce it out of that gold mine, it takes average 29 years. Whoa. 29 years to go from finding it to having an operating gold mine or copper mine or lead mine or silver mine or zinc mine. Wow.
I know a couple of guys you couldn't tell they could rub two sticks together. Good friend of mine bought a bank because the bank had a big vault. He had three tons of gold that he was like a collector, a hoarder. Jesus Christ. He'd been mining for 40 years.
Well, I mean. Three tons of gold. Got to remember there's a difference between a, if I was to ask you what weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold, what would you tell me?
You'd be wrong because there's 16 ounces in a pound of feathers and there's 12 ounces, different ounces in a pound of gold. How come? Just the way it is.
You're getting 12 troy ounces.
It's plaster gold. It's the kind that we have. He was on my ground. And he would melt it and refine it if you wanted to get 24 karat. It generally runs about 85% pure in its form on my creeks. So if you find a one-ounce nugget, 85% of that's probably 24 karat.
33 ounces.
It looks like a whale, actually. How big is it? Like in your hand. I got a picture of it on my page. My daughter's holding it.
It's almost this big.
