Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After three years in the U.S. Army, Paul Jones acquired a B.S. in Mining Engineering at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. His fifty year career was devoted to mine exploration and the management of producing mines and mills with two million miles of travel in the U.S. and a dozen foreign countries. At two New Mexico uranium mines, his management yielded the highest productivity in the district. In Honduras, he regained control of a collapsing silver mine that killed the former manager. In Nicaragua, he reopened a gold mine that defied the efforts of former managers. However, he barely escaped armed men chasing him and the gold. During a period of intense violence in El Salvador, he maintained the security of explosives and shipments of a million dollars gold per month. A Registered Professional Geologist, he developed and sold on six continents an exploration tool that detected many new mines including a multi-billion dollar deposit that generated a major portion of the tax revenues for Jefferson County, Montana for twenty years.
