Outcrop grab rock sampling has defined the Last Chance prospect located on Red Mountain at the head of Dowry Creek, a past producing platinum placer deposit. The bedrock platinum anomaly measures 650 meters north - south by 175 meters east - west (Figure 1). The prospect has a vertical exposure of 50 meters with platinum enriched chromium iron (Cr-Fe) oxides outcropping in dunite between elevations of 380 - 430 meters. Platinum grades are variable and range up to 2.27g/t. Within this prospect there are ... platinum and palladium enriched magnetite-clinopyroxene veins cutting the dunite. Platinum/palladium ratios are near 1 which clearly differentiates this magnetite in clinopyroxene hosted mineralization from the chromite in dunite hosted mineralization that has much higher platinum/palladium ratios.

In Michael Bay's THE ROCK, gung-ho general Francis Hummel (Ed Harris), armed with deadly chemical rockets and aided by violent cohorts, takes over the island of Alcatraz, holding 81 tourists hostage. Hummel promises to deploy the missiles over San Francisco if Washington doesn't make amends to ignored combat victims to the tune of $100 million. A cadre of Navy SEALs are dispatched to quell the situation, assisted by the mysterious, macho John Mason (Sean Connery), the only man to ever escape from Alcatraz, who must now help the SEALs break back in. Joining them is mild-mannered chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), who is unaccustomed to such things as guns and military maneuvers. Their high-octane mission is filled with surprises, particularly after Hummel and company quickly annihilate the SEALs--leaving Mason and Goodspeed to save the day all by themselves.

The Rock: What in the blue hell is wrong with you? The Rock was just informed that he had a match at Unforgiven. A handicap match between The Rock, Booker T and Shane McMahon and the only thing you can think about and talk about is dessert? A little professionalism, Lilian Garcia, please! (Lillian begins to speak) Shh. Shh.

40 seconds isn't always enough to tell what the whole song is going to be like. The clip started with the drums, which sounded great, and then guitars kicked in and then the singing.
