Why are our statements "very ugly and unfair to
JHS" (Zeomanus' message 4090) while Zeomanus
(message 4122) says of himself "Unlike many other
large shareholders, when I speak with John, I lay it
out loud and clear; no mealy mouthed nicey, nicey
crap." It seems like eRaider and Zeomanus agree that
straight talk is best, there are just two different names
for it depending on who is talking.

I know everyone including me is mad at Anthony
Ford for the Zeomanus Deception (soon to be a
Robert Ludlum thriller). But no one should forget
that Mr. Ford has been the staunchest critic of
Goldfield management for many years, and he
organized the only significant shareholder "no" vote
to date. He has a huge investment in this company,
and has worked hard to protect it.

Despite his denials, I suspect there is some sort of
formal or informal deal, and Mr. Ford believes it is
better than what eRaider is likely to accomplish by
running a dissident slate of directors. I don't believe it
is some sort of private deal that cuts out everyone
else. So he's entitled to his opinion.

I know Mr. Ford has been very abusive to other
posters and sometimes hard to understand. But I
strongly believe shareholders have to stick together.
We don't have to like or agree with each other, but if
we fight amongst ourselves we're powerless. In a
war, you don't ask if the guy in the foxhole with you
is a Democrat or a Republican. You fight together to
earn the right to go home and argue about politics
later. If you fight about politics in the foxhole, there
won't be free elections to go home to.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who put up their
own money for shares and cares only about
improving the return to shareholders is on my side;
even if we're working at cross-purposes at the
moment. Plus, I'm enough of a pragmatist not to
write off anyone with 2,065,000 million shares. Love
him or hate him, those shares give him a significant
voice in how Goldfield is run. You don't have to live
with him, just share profits with him. So let's forget
the past, pull together, and make those profits big.

Cumulative Voting

There's been discussion of cumulative voting. Some
people think it makes it easier to take over a
company. Not true. Cumulative voting makes it
easier to elect a few directors because you don't need
over 50% of the vote to elect any one director.
However, if you want to elect the majority of
directors, in order to have control over the board,
you still must have the majority of votes.
Cumulative voting allows minority shareholders to
have their views heard and makes it easier to get a
minority of directors elected. But, there is no way
that I know of around the need for a majority of
shareholder votes to get the majority of the Board
votes.

Zeolite Potential

We have some real zeolite experts on
this board but I can give you a quick
synopsis.

I first analyzed GV as Southeast Power. I
thought that company, with a little more
aggressive growth, was worth far more
than the stock price. Zeolites and the
other mining interests were a nice bonus.
Some posters, including HC, consider
the zeolites far more valuable. I don't
disagree, I just don't know enough about
it.

But you have to be careful. There are
expensive synthetic zeolites used for
high-value applications. When you hear
people talk about cutting the price of oil
in half through improvements in zeolite
efficiency, it's the synthetics they're
talking about.

St. Cloud Mining, of course, has natural
zeolites. They're the largest producer in
North America. These are not as uniform
as synthetics, thus not suitable for high-
value applications. But there are lots of
bulk applications: kitty litter, animal feed
additive, fertilizer additive, bulk
filtration, toxic chemical clean-up and
mine reclamation among others. St.
Cloud has the highest-quality natural
zeolites and a very efficient mining
operation.

One important consideration is freight
costs. Shipping is an appreciable fraction
of the value of natural zeolites. If a high-
volume use could be found, investment
could be made to lower the shipping
costs and it could be very profitable. But
the same application with lower volume
might not make economic sense.

Also, natural zeolites do not have a
significant fraction of the market in any
single application. Therefore people do
not think of them naturally. They have to
be sold. Again, the key is volume. If the
market were big enough, it would pay to
undertake the marketing expense
necessary to win it. A smaller market
might not pay.

So zeolites could be a huge success, or
they might never amount to more than a
moderate profit side business with no
growth potential.
