I think it fairly ridiculous that some are trying to pin down a statement that shows that management said something to affect that 'we will prove 100 mi. tons by end 12010'.

We are talking about taking many 11/2" to 2" core of rock from as far down as 700 meters, Before they are even assayed, some expect wording from management that explicitly says 'we will have...." 100 mi. tons by end of year.

No way no how, with any technology or any experts, can this ever be predicted. Management would look like fools if they tried to put it out there that this was a given. It would be based on the best geology etc., and that is not fact until the assays are back.

Do we have a good chance? From everything we've seen and heard, I think it's fair to say yes.

I for one love the fact that those running this company are straight forward, generous with their information, and cautious in their optimism.

I'm one of those newbies who ended up buying at the height of the 'hype', so I am very anxious to see big results soon. However, I have been involved in another company (of which many here are knowledgeable) that has made many 'promises', only to not come through. I have lost $$$ big time, so I want "nothing but the fact ma'am"
