There is still a gold rush. But it's a rush of companies, not individuals. Still it's the individuals he meets that is one of the reasons why Spry's interest in geology continues. All the prospectors and geologists have a story to tell. I have been lucky to meet and work with a lot of people with a whole bunch of different backgrounds.
Geologists are a fun-loving bunch.
We have a certain pioneering spirit. You would have to have a pioneering spirit when you travel to some of the remote locations Spry goes to while researching gold deposits. In Fiji, the Emperor mine is located on the edge of an old volcano. Temperatures in the mine can reach up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit with 90 percent humidity. But it's always satisfying to find something.
