So... nobody thinks there's 40 Bil in gold in Haiti?

........and at .13 a share?

    I've read there is maybe $20 billion... seen nothing about .13 a share.


    Gold was last gathered in Haiti in the 1500s, after Christopher Columbus ran the Santa Maria onto a Haitian reef. Spaniards enslaved the Arawak Indians to dig for gold, killing them off with harsh conditions and infectious diseases. When the Spaniards learned of even more lucrative deposits in Mexico, they moved on.

    A flurry of exploratory drilling in the past year has found precious metals worth potentially $20 billion deep below the tropical ridges in the country's northeastern mountains.
    The workers periodically pulled up samples and knocked them into boxes. The first 40 feet yielded loose rocks and gravel. About 160 feet down, cylinders of rock came back peppered with gold. At 1,000 feet down, rocks were heavily streaked with copper.

    Drill baby drill.... Hati Gold

    seems like they may have something to finally smile about, I think 40 billion is on the entire island, they share the mountain , they get 20, maybe Dominican Republic gets the other half, lots more in other metals as well--volcanoes take...and give

    According to the AP's report the Dominican Republic side of the mountain has an estimated $40 billion and the Haiti side has an estimated $20 billion.
  • I can see this turning into a "One Tin Soldier" scenario.
