10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold!
My Secrets to Discovering 10 Million Ounces of Proven Placer Gold Reserves! Introduction – December 2010 Say what? Are you kidding me? No way dude! Liar… Those are just a few of the comments I have received when people hear about my ridiculous claim of having discovered 10 million ounces of commercially viable, placer gold reserves in only one small area of Ecuador. OK, I must admit it; the real number isn’t really 10 million ounces. The real number is likely at least 10 times that amount. But who would ever believe me if I said I discovered 100 million ounces of placer gold? At the end of this report, in the Appendix, I will furnish a 5-page, scanned document that will show you the proof of my claim. This is the very first time ever that I am able to reveal this document to the public. It was first published as Secret and Confidential. It was secret because it was the property of Hampton Court Resources, a Canadian public company (now bankrupt), regulated by the Canadian TSX Venture Stock Exchange. Hampton Court was not legally able to share this incredible information with its shareholders before it collapsed. The shareholders never knew!

10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! Not only will I reveal the document to you, I will also reveal the exact location of the placer gold deposits that cost Hampton Court millions of dollars to identify and prove up. One of the top three alluvial gold geologists in the world was responsible for the study. It took him, a team of Ecuadorian geologists and two drill rigs nearly five years to complete the study.
Old Hampton Court Concession Map
The 10 million ounce placer gold reserve comes from only a portion of two of the eleven concessions shown on the master map above. Each and every one of the concessions on the map is extremely rich and commercially viable. I possess copies of a total of $7 million dollars worth of research, documentation and drill-hole results obtained by two different companies to prove it.

Hampton Court Placer Gold Mining Operation
Guess what? The gold is still all there! Even though several million dollars worth of placer gold was mined, the gold deposits were never really properly developed due to a series of incredibly stupid human errors and poor decisions on the part of Hampton Court management, right from the president on down to his brother in the field.

10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! There, I did it. I aired some dirty laundry from which the stench has been bothering me for years. I feel better now. Thank you. ********************* The following report is a very brief version of my long and tireless quest to find and develop commercial placer gold mines. I hope you enjoy it. What’s more, it you are serious about gold prospecting and mining, I hope you take this information along with my experiences and do something about it in your own life. Use this information to stake your own claim out there somewhere and get busy developing it! There are many fortunes to be made in dozens of countries around the world.
Placer Gold from One Hampton Clean-Up
The Development of a System to Discover Large Commercial Placer Gold Deposits My Secrets and System took me many years and tens of thousands of dollars to finally figure out. Part of my prospecting system development strategies came about as the result of tracking down and studying many Copyright 2010 AdventureTraders.com
Page 5
10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! obscure publications and maps. The other part of my understanding came from actual physical investigations in many different parts of the Americas, from Alaska and the Yukon down to Argentina in South America. Many years ago while owning and operating a small treasure hunting and gold prospecting store, The Prospector, in Utah, I was introduced to an organization known as the Gold Prospectors Association of America (GPAA). As a member of this group, I began making regular trips to the Mother Lode country of Northern California to learn how to prospect and dredge for gold.
After spending time in California, I began to understand the geological reasons of why the gold is there and where it came from. I found this to be absolutely fascinating, especially as I began to apply my new-found knowledge to other geographical locations all over the Americas. But first, let me give you some background on the geology of California's Mother Lode region. This is vitally important and applies to the geology found in many different countries!

10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! How Did the Gold Get There? Gold is present in very small amounts in literally all rocks and even in ocean water; but to be mined economically, it must be concentrated. Even so, the richest gold deposits may contain only a fraction of an ounce per ton. Four hundred million years ago, California was a different place. It didn't even exist as land, and instead, lay at the bottom of the sea. The Pacific shoreline lay to the east, in present-day Utah and Arizona. To the west, large volcanic islands erupted ash and lavas onto the sea floor. Hot springs on the ocean floor built up huge deposits of sulfide mineral deposits. At various times between 400 and 200 million years ago, titanic crustal forces caused the offshore islands to collide with the American continent, crushing and folding the rocks derived from the sea floor and volcanoes (Keep in mind that this was still a slow process, with movements of only a few inches per year). The rocks scraped off the sea floor and collected from innumerable volcanic eruptions, became the metamorphic rocks that make up the bedrock of the Mother Lode region. Beginning about 200 million years ago, massive shifts of the tectonic plates that encircle the earth caused the sea floor crust to be pushed beneath the American continent, where it heated up and melted into huge molten masses of magma. These so-called “subduction zones” are in modern times responsible for the volcanoes and sometimes violent earthquakes of the Cascade Mountains in Washington and the Andes Mountains in South America. The molten rock forced its way upward

Water, derived from rain and snow, percolated into the ground in the Mother Lode region. Following fractures and cracks left by millions of years of geologic mayhem, the water came closer and closer to the hot molten magmas. At these elevated temperatures, water dissolved otherwise stable materials including quartz, gold, silver, copper and zinc. The metal and sulfide laden “stew of hot water” then rose along fractures adjacent to the Melones Fault Zone in the Mother Lode. As it cooled, it began to precipitate the mineral riches that it carried as large quartz veins with varying proportions of gold and silver, along with iron, copper and zinc sulfides. Some may have even emerged at the surface as hot springs, like those that exist today near Reno and Carson City.

10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! Twice, in the last hundred million years, the Sierra Nevada rose into a mighty mountain range only to be attacked by the forces of erosion: water, ice and wind. Many thousands of feet of rock were stripped away, and the gold veins were exposed to the elements. Rivers carried gold chunks downstream and on into the Great Valley. During the most recent mountain-building episode, which began within the last 5 million years or so, many streambeds were abandoned, and the thick gravels they contained were left as isolated patches on high mountainsides and on the plateau-like topography between deep canyons. In some cases, lava flows covered and protected the gold-bearing gravels. These thick, gold-bearing river gravel deposits that were left high and dry as the mountains rose, are often referred to as ancient channels or tertiary river gravels. The word "tertiary" comes from a geologic period of time between 2 and 66 million years ago.

An Ancient Gold-Bearing River Channel Left High and Dry
The ancient river gravels are a major source of the gold found in almost all of the main river systems within the Mother Lode region. When I learned where the gold I was dredging was coming from, I devised a plan.
Copyright 2010 AdventureTraders.com
Page 10
10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! I purchased a set of topographic maps of the Mother Lode region and then bought clear plastic sheets to use as overlays. I then took all of my research of the ancient channel locations and traced them on the plastic. When I finished, I could see the exact locations of where the ancient channel gold was being eroded into the modern rivers and streams. It worked like magic! Eventually I came across an out-of-print book, The Ancient River of Gold. (note: This e-book is included in my Ancient Deposits, Modern Wealth e-package found at the end of this report. Also included in the e-package is a set of the Mother Lode maps I created with the ancient channel overlays!) This amazing book documents remnants of an immense, ancient, goldbearing river system that had allegedly spanned from Alaska down to Chile. I quickly realized that if this information was really true, it could have huge implications in my future gold prospecting success. The author claimed that this huge river was none other than the Pishon River described in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament. In the Bible it says that the Pishon ran through the Garden of Eden and was very rich in gold. The author went on to give much supporting evidence of his theory.

Approximate Path of the Alleged, Ancient Pishon River
What was most important to me was that the author described exactly where remnants of the old gold-bearing river gravels were exposed state by state, and country by country, right down from Alaska to Chile. He gave specific locations through California, the Baja peninsula, Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, etc. I hope you understand what I am saying here!

Evidence of an Ancient River Can Be Seen by These Water-Worn Boulders
From that time on, I began searching mountainsides along the ancient river's path for large, round, water-worn boulders - a sign of dry and uplifted ancient river remnants. As I traveled through the Latin American countries along the ancient river's path, I began finding the gold; it was exactly in all the places mentioned in and predicted by the old book's author, Raymond Wallace.

Coarse Gold is Found Among These Large, Water-Worn Boulders
The gold that was carried and deposited by that ancient river, now left high and dry, must number in the billions or trillions of ounces, if not more! It can be found all along the old path, currently eroding down hillsides and into modern rivers.

10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! Then I made a very important new discovery in Ecuador... After years of gold prospecting in the jungles of Ecuador, I began seeing all of the signs ancient river channels. I investigated a little more closely and began discovering gold everywhere I looked. It was a combination of hard work and talking to the locals that was the perfect combination that led to a huge discovery. As seen on some of the maps in my e-report, Gold Secrets of Ecuador Revealed, (note: you can see the details of Gold Secrets of Ecuador at the end of this report) many jungle rivers carry vast amounts of gold, but these rivers don't originate in any mountains! This means that they are not picking up their gold from gold-bearing veins, skarns or other hard rock sources. Where is all that gold coming from??? I think you guessed the answer to that question, and the answer results in my Secrets and System for finding massive amounts of placer gold. There are untold ounces of ancient alluvial gold out there, much of it easily accessible, if you just know how and where to look. It took a few more years for me to find a company interested in developing my gold discovery in Ecuador. Eventually I was led to a company in Calgary, Alberta, Canada called Hampton Court Resources. I explained my placer gold discovery to the president of the company. He became very interested and then even excited. He sent his best Copyright 2010 AdventureTraders.com

10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! geologist with me to visit the site. After some days of testing, we returned to Hampton’s home office in Calgary to report the incredible results. That led to a big change in my life. I was ready to go gold mining again!
Now check this out... Excerpt from a Hampton Court Resources News Release in 1998... *********************** “THE SOURCE OF OUR GOLD Studies completed to date have enhanced HCR's understanding of the sources of the alluvial (placer) gold present on our concessions. The original (lode) gold source is believed to be erosion of mesothermal shear zone hosted quartz veins present in the Cordillera Real basement lithologies exposed upstream in the Andes Mountains to the west of HCR's concessions. Periods of strong erosion from the Tertiary to the present have provided HCR's concession areas with constant fluvial action resulting in deposition of placer gold from original sources in the mountains as well as erosion and reconcentration of previously deposited gold bearing fluvial units.” “The auriferous Tiyuyacu Formation (Tertiary-Eocene age) attains thicknesses of up to 250m/820ft in HCR's concession areas and is present along a strike length of 150 km. It has features in common with productive auriferous conglomerates in other locations of the world and of different ages, (example - the extremely productive South African Copyright 2010 AdventureTraders.com
Page 16
10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! paleo-placer deposits). Erosion and reconcentration of the contained gold into younger fluvial units is believed to be an important source of the gold on HCR's concessions. Another source of gold is the younger Tertiary (Pliocene) Chambira Formation consisting of gold bearing fluvial sediments that attain a thickness up to 1500m/4920ft.” “Reconnaissance sampling and cliff channel sampling were completed by HCR to evaluate the economic potential of the Chambira and to determine the degree to which the gold bearing unit is contributing to gold enrichment in the younger sediments. The Chambira has been mapped over an area of approximately 39 sq. km on HCR's concessions. PGS estimates that 500m/1640ft of vertical Pleistocene erosion of this unit has occurred. Using an average grade of 8 mg per cubic meter of gold in the Chambira (based on channel sampling), PGS estimates that 257,000 ounces of placer gold per cubic km of erosion has been released and reconcentrated into younger fluvial units or a total for all the eroded area of approximately 5 million ounces of gold.” “Sampling of the Tiyuyacu Tertiary gold bearing sands and gravels established a mean gold grade of 63.6 mg per cubic meter. Erosion of up to 250 meters of the Tiyuyacu sediments over the 22 sq. km of the floodplains provided significant additional amounts of gold. Sources in the Andes also continue to contribute an unknown quantity of gold to our concessions. These sources give credibility to the potential of the large areas of alluvial gold accumulations currently being delineated by HCR.” ***********************

Page 17
10 Million Ounces of Placer Gold! The exposed ancient river channels described in HCR's news release above can be found all along the ancient river's path. These exposures have different geological names in different countries, but are all part of the same geological time frame and events. Hampton Court Resources went on to acquire even more concessions in the area. Eventually they acquired a total of fourteen. The future looked awesome. Unfortunately, the president of the company and his brother in the field began making a series of stupid decisions about personnel, equipment and strategies. The whole project came tumbling down like a line of dominos. Fortunately, I was able to see it coming and I was able to take personal measures to protect myself. I sold all of my shares in the company before the bad news began to leak out to the public. I was able to set myself up comfortably to finance my next project. That is another interesting story for another day.

Local Natives recovered many ounces of gold from this ancient river deposit
I hope you can now see how my Secrets and System has helped me in my gold prospecting ventures. The concession area that HCR used to control, represents only about 1% of the gold that is described in my Gold Secrets of Ecuador Revealed (see the end of this report for details) e-report alone. Compared to areas I know of throughout the Americas, HCR's gold reserve was but a very small drop in a very large bucket. I hope my Secrets and System inspire you to go prospecting and to realize how much gold is really out there waiting for you.
