I'm not sure that having a lab on site will make much difference- at least to us investors. The delay (for us) has never been in SFMI getting the results, the delay has been in releasing them to investors. Do you think that they have never yet gotten back any results from the outside labs since they started milling? Because I have yet to see any grades PRed.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm also POed about the lack of communication. It's THE REASON for the share price drop. I'm completely confident that SFMI is on the right track in their operations, but the poor quality and general lack of communication is becoming inexcusable. I had thought this might improve w/ RS at the head, and in fact the PRs are better written but so far no less informative or clear. Of the three PRs cotaining real "news" since he arrived, one was straightforward information (the LOC), one was a fairly well written one updating activities, but the one that should have provided the most information and goosed the sp was a complete joke. The "Production Ore Values" update told us nothing of the ore grades. It was a typical weaselly PR that gave us some data without giving us what we really wanted and needed- ore grades and revenue- numbers which, by the way, had been promised long ago.

Enough ranting.
