In 1998 we were in the construction business, and we were living my dream for our family. The name of our company was Mountain Movers, LLC and there was nothing our team could not accomplish. We set records and did things that other companies fantasize about accomplishing.
Also, that year I was getting close to the LORD and one day in my bible study I read Romans 8:28 which says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are the called according to HIS purpose.” After reading this I threw my bible down on my desk very hard, as I was upset. This is because I realized that GOD wanted me to be called according to HIS purpose, not mine. The problem was that I worked 20 years on a very specific dream, and I was just now seeing that dream become a reality and now the LORD wanted me to surrender my dream to HIM.
At the time Dena (my wife) and I had money, we owned a very nice ranch & home, we owned a thriving construction company, we had a fleet of company trucks (big and small), we owned a fleet of excavation equipment, we owned a residential subdivision that we built, we drove nice vehicles, we were well respected, and I could retire if I wanted.
Dusty was 17 years old and for a young man he was doing well. He had a a nice business, whereas he owned and trained horses (18 horses during this time). He was becoming famous in the horse world, as he was winning state, national and world equine championships.
Things were just about perfect for our family and then GOD came calling; HE wanted me to trust HIM and exchange what I had for what HE desired for me. Four months later and after much thought, I made a deal with the LORD. I told HIM that I would do whatever HE wanted me to do (no matter what it is) if HE made His instructions clear to me. Dusty and Dena signed on to the same deal.
Six years later and after a Job-like experience (that wiped our family out financially) the LORD engineered a series of restoration miracles. The most noteworthy miracle was where the LORD directed us into discovering The Largest and Richest Gold Region in The World, located in Alabama. However, the commercial process to recover this gold did not yet exist, as the gold was micron in form. Meaning it could not be detected with standard assays and could not be recovered with standard processing plant. This is where GOD called our family to develop properties located within this region and to develop the process needed to recover this gold. We accepted GOD’s call and we expected HIM to provide the miracles needed to obtain success.
We would spend the next 19 years doing comprehensive research and development in the laboratory and with pilot plant tests. We hired many industry consultants and the vast majority achieved successful harvests of the gold and platinum using different processes in the lab setting. However, scaling up recovery in the pilot plant setting proved frustrating until just recently. With the development of our proprietary ETA technology we have obtained success with a process and system that greatly enhances the value of our Verbena flagship project, and of the other properties that are part of our Mine Inventory.
