“No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.”
― Isaac Newton

“There is no thrill like the thrill of discovery; no life like the life of a mining camp in the days of its youth. Nevada had known them in full and overflowing measure. The salt of the sea in the blood of a sailor is but a weak and insipid condiment compared with the solution of cyanide, sage and silicate in the blood of the prospector.”
― C.B. Glasscock

“Mining is the art of exploiting mineral deposits at a profit. An unprofitable mine is fit only for the sepulcher of a dead mule.”
― T.A. Rickard

“The best place to find a new mine is next door to an old mine.”
― Tom Zoellner, Uranium: War, Energy and the Rock That Shaped the World
