Welcome back NL. May '09 you welcomed me to the board as a new investor and hopefully your return to SGR as a SH will be the start of our next phase in developement. It would appear to me that we are positioned to finally become a producer. I realize that there will always be developement going on, however wth the ramp to L10 and the new 007 surface portal there will be many ways to move the ore to the mill without causing traffic jams. IMHO this movement of developement ore and waste rock has probably been a major factor in the slow growth in ounces produced. The expense and man hours required to put in place all of the infrastructure is not much different than the process of moving ore to the mill. On the bright side the ounces we did not produce last year are now worth $400 more than they were then.

It is also nice to see HM got his computer fixed and has found the time to post here again. I know he is very busy with his newest venture(GZD), however I for one appreciate the cold water he dumps on my head everytime I get ahead of myself. I took a moment to go back to those early days and one of Hotmuck's first posts to me was to be patient and and not to expect things to go without a hitch. Oddly enough, many of the posters(investors) back then are still here. danno, merc,pcpres,tidbits,ruf,lunch,wpg traps,mbgld,gord and so on. I think it shows a lot of confidence going forward. Good luck to all of us longs and good luck to dale and bill in finding that pot of gold.
