Golly...I am shocked and flattered with all the support. Your kindness makes me humble.

However you need to understand that I am very busy at this time of year and sometimes don't read the board for a week at a time.

Therefore I would not make a very good HUB Leader. In fact I am not even sure what a Hub Leader does?

But getting back to Tribute, I have been of the belief that they are into the right geologic material and that the previous assays are indicative of good things to come.

If they were reporting relatively low grades of Copper and Nickel from some of their first holes, can the higher grade stuff be far away?

Some will say ...of course it could....but I like the old theory...where there is smoke there is fire...

I am a big fan of Ian BB and Trevor Boyd. (I had to say that because they bought Hoov and I supper last time we were together)

But seriously these are first class guys and then you add in Dick Nemis (fellow Sudburian) and John Harvey. Of course Peter and Jay are very knowledgable as well. Call Jay and ask him about the mess the bears made up at the camp.

I spoke to Dick today and he is also very excited about the lastest borehole work done by Crone. The VTEM stuff is starting to come in as well.

I will be on a fishing trip with Yukon Cornelius and a few other cronies all next week, so someone else should call Ian while I am away.

I bought a booster that allows me to use my iphone and my laptop while up at the lake so I will be watching for a news release between fish fries and cold refreshments.

Thanks again for the kind words.
