So I get this mail from reader “J”, an age-old sparring partner and IKN friend, with that “Best mining bios ever…ever” you see above in the title line of the mail. The mail’s contents, nothing except this link to a company called Mingo Gold which says it has exploration properties (mostly gold) in Senegal.
