Dear Colleagues;
Since the international list of sizeable mining companies is really very
short (and setting shorter by the year)it should not be a major effort
for the SEGMIN committee to solicite hard statistics regarding the level
of geophysical expenditures, both absolutely and relative to total
exploration expenditures. I would like to nominate Ken to spearhead the
survey!
