I recognize that my knowledge is limited in comparision to some on this board when it comes to the geology and proving up the value. But there is something that I have a great deal of knowledge and background in as I grew up in a small northern mining community where I learned what defines these people and what is really important to them. Reputation was everything to these folks whether you were the mine manager, shifter, plumber, mechanic, drift, stope or raise miner. Your reputation preceded and followed you to other projects/mines and gave you or didn't give you access to the premium and higher paying areas in the mine. Monthly bonuses were awarded not just on what a miner did but but was largely based on their reputation as well. I strongly believe Elmer and to a large extent Ernesto with their mining background are cut from that cloth wherein reputation means a lot to these folks as well.

It is my estimation that the largest percentage of longs bought into Copper Fox from the 1.50 to 2.50 range therefore for Elmer and Ernesto to accept an offer for anything below 3.00 or to take a low ball offer of 1.65 would be a dismal failure to both of these gentlemen's reputation and seriously jeopardize their credibility moving forward considering the monster deposit they are in control of. Elmer needs to maintain his if he wants Boxxer to take off and Ernesto needs his if he wants a Sprott like following, I strongly feel both of these gentlemen are also looking past Copper Fox and will not be short changed by Teck, the markets, whatever! I know if they bring a huge return to the longs a lot of these folks will follow them to other projects and invest accordingly, I will.

I have a lot of skin in this project, probably too much, but my money is invested not only based on the horse (the deposit) but the jockeys as well and their reputations.

Go Elmer and go Ernesto!
