Alaska or Texas??




Fair guess but too small. Iran is as big as the USA EAST of the
Mississippi! The place is HUGE! Vast mountains surrounding two deserts.
When I was in country, two American geologists who worked for National
Iranian Oil, the Shah's oil company, were out fooling around in a
helicopter full of deep sonar equipment looking for more domes, I suppose.
They were in an area that never had a road. There are lots of areas with
no roads at all in the rugged mountains. They didn't find oil. They found
the second biggest deposit of virgin copper ore on the planet! There's no
way to get to it, but copper keeps rising in price, making it just money in
the.....ground?



Lets hope that doesn't encourage anyone to invade, aka oil in Iraq.
