Randol's MEXICAN MINING DIRECTORY 1998

Hans von Michaelis has published a new and revised version of Randol's epic Mexican Mining Directory. If you are even thinking of Mexico in any way (other than which beaches to go to), tap your budget and call (800) 726-3652 or (303) 536-1626. Probably the most extensive directory of it's type directly focused on the Mexican Mining Scene. It's a bargin considering it should easily have a shelf-life of at least a few years, just like the 1994 version did.  Hans and his elves also just put up a killer website. Check it out!
