seawind;

I will NOT bite on your #4 possibility, as that kind of speculation, while the best possable likelyhood for a Company, Explorer or Assayer alike, is way out of my comfort level. The real content of the cores will be found out one way or an other and will NOT be published untill all involved are quite satisfied that the results derived via assaying are well within acceptable QA/QC limits. It has to be well understood by ALL and EVERY interested party, both with a direct and indirect vested stake in the successful progress in area exploration that all with the goods will be best served by solid efficient progress.

The last week or so has helped me regain perspective on what most Investors in this sector consider to be of the up most of importance. That being Drill Results from Exploration. But given the nature of the "Ring of Fire" participants and the distribution of property holdings in the area, I do believe a major consideration to be taken full account of must be the relationships among the various and growing number of companies with a stake (claims and JV's) in the area.

With the above in mind, how much of the apparent back room goings on reported and speculated on over the past two to four weeks have been with respect to development, good cooperation procedures and plans, among most, if NOT all, of these area participants. This is important because of the diversity of various vested interests and the apparent nature of the Geology through out the area.

I still cling to the notion that the real true value of each mineral find hings on how well every one in the area get along and in how they decide to go about unlocking that real true value for each specific company as well as for other parties with vested interests in the area.

The brief mention of the Tuesday meeting of many of the companies and other vested interests in the JBL is very encouraging. We need to be kept up to date on thers types of happenings and associated matters every bit as much as on learning the outcome of various Drill Programs.

True Value is MultiDimentional!
