Some very good questions Koala. I too have asked myself some of the same questions at different times especially concerning any unforeseen mishap re Garry. However, with the present entry of both Westridge Management International & D & D into the long negotiations going on, I feel very confident that any such emergency contingencies are being carefully considered & scrutinized. Should such a tragedy occur, Tri-con might or might not be in the picture - it likely would not be a critical factor. After all the mining work force is huge & others could easily step in.

These are good questions for the next annual meeting. I for one, would love to go to the next meeting if possible & I'm sure at this stage, many other faithful longs will make the effort too! Several of us would also like to visit the Nolan in the near future. One or two new experienced directors in mining are likely to come on board as well & our treasures on the Nolan will be will protected for the shareholders.
