SB---As the well respected hub leader here, and one who clearly has his finger on the pulse regarding Kimber, I would appreciate your thoughts and information regarding Puplava's recent switch from junior exploration companies to larger producers as the best place for current investment. Now, I am not saying that JP is abandoning the junior sector entirely, but he has now put it on the back burner as an investment. Part of his thesis is that these juniors will not be able to get the finances to survive the additional time period required before this sector thrives.

While Kimber is currently financed, how do you see this strategy affecting your previous scenario for Kimber's ascent? Have you had an opportunity to discuss Kimber's current plan's with any 'people in the know'?

Thanks in advance.
