The caption accompanying the front-page photograph on your Jan. 12-18 issue is inaccurate at best, and downright vindictive at worst.
If John Felderhof was unaware of the salting scam at Busang, the worst he could be accused of is being proud that his theory of gold mineralization had been proven correct. If, on the other hand, he was aware of the salting scheme, it is the analysts and reporters who are the naive ones for believing in something that seemed too good to be true. I would tend to think that The Northern Miner, after declaring David Walsh and John Felderhof Mining Men of the Year [for 1996], should look in the nearest mirror before calling anybody naive.
