obs, a couple things stand out to me (i did like your post, but..) if goldmining really does'nt know hoov then his question of "why is hoov relavant" was legitimate. it seemed to me that he was just asking a question, i did'nt see any malicious attacks (unless i missed a post)

personally, i know hoov and i buy on his recommendations only because he has a pretty good track record and he knows a hell of a lot more than i do about mining. the fact i like the guy does'nt play into my purchases. i've made some money with hoov, "goldmining" evidently has'nt. if gnh goes bust then i will personally bare the responsibility for losing my own money (god knows i've done it before). hoov and i will continue to be friends because i know hoov actually believed in the deposit and had his own money at risk also..the only thing that would change is that hoov may have to start picking up more of the bar tab..

the folks that really upset me are the ones who got in at .18 on hoovs advice and considered themselves geniuses as it skyrocketed...then as it retreated blamed hoov for the pullback...rediculous..

anyway, here's the way i see it, until bulk sampling results come in (that will be the "proof in the pudding" imo)....there are 3 possible scenarios here.

1. drill assays come back horribly worse than the last batch and gnh will drop like a stone. (with reports of visible gold in most of the cores i dont see this happening)

2. drill assays come back similar to last time (this increases our tonnage but the economical deposit question is still there) i think at worst our PPS holds around .50 and maybe goes up.

3. assays come back good (.98 would probably be our next wall)

i like the play, i like the players, i like our chances...
