Unfortunately early on in the year KRY and other juniors got hit with a number of events that adversly affected our share price. The first was the selling by hedge funds to cover losses in other areas, then the tighten of the credit market which lend to an inability to raise funds for further exploration. Lastly KRY permit denial really sunk our share price.

Currently we have the banks in trouble. This should not be negative for gold since the failure in american banks will negatively affect the dollar and hence boost the price of gold.

Having the Venezuela goverenment indicate that they are in discussion with KRY about mining activities at Las Cristinas is very important news. I would highly doubt this government would deny the permit twice, and especially now that Sanz seems to be the decision maker.

Lastly there has been a great deal of accumulation of KRY shares by a number of insitutions.

Taken together I am quite optimisitc given the previous events that KRY will soon have its' day in the sun.

JMHO
