hello my friend snuggs.

one thing i should mention in comment about shareholders taking responsibiltiy to talk to neil ...rather than just sit and watch the share price as your say.

well, in the case of SPQ, I TALKED to neil lots over the last many years... i have the many many e-mails as well, to show for it.

i even did a PP with SPQ WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO BUY OUT KWG. ...it obviously fell through... and we ende3d up with only amending our partnership agreement.

AT THE end of the day: it did does not matter sometimes how much you phone up a CEO OR how much DD your do.... if the BOD simply sells off 55% of your property's worth in an option agreement... without any shareholder approval... then all the due diligence in the world runs completely down the drain.

as my freind affab says: this is what drives shareholders insain.

but i did NOT go insain ....instead, i started buying NOT

yes, i may look "silly" on the outside ...but on the inside, well i am well meaning and peaceful.

by the way, even if we hit it really big on the "big daddy" lets say we find nickel and gold too !! ....well FWR will get 50 % and maybe more.

while SPQ WILL GET around 22.5% ....so what's the poiint here anywys. FWR is obviously better positioned and they have better control of their companies finances and they have 100% owned other claims and gold properties.

meanwhile our other ROF PROPERTY ...8% COPPER ECT... WILL BE 55% UC OWNERSHIP ! ....thanks to the SPQ BOD.

AND BY THE WAY ...one last point that i would like all shareholders to understand:

KWG did a very smart thing: they bought up some royalties of FWR's claims. so this gives them an great advantage going forward ...atleast they do not have to rely on just the 22%. this is why they are trading well ahead of SPQ. for the first time in our history, our partner is positioned well ahead of us.

hope this helps you understand and gives you some perspective my old friend.

cheers ...danny
