GoldBarrenCharlie,

Thank you for your compliments and advice. I, however, don't think we're in for that long of a wait.

We're talking about another several years to the first pour. But, during that time, we hope to see certain milestones achieved along the way. Even if they're delivered 23 days past the time when they were scheduled to be delivered ( Baires makes bad joke, see PFS in first half 2010).

And the fun part of the waiting, we hope, will be seeing the gold price soar, while Clan and Goodwin significantly increase reserves, and the permitting process goes apace toward completion.

Fingers crossed. After all, we're not here because we have a crystal ball. But, because we see that there is a reasonable prospect for success. And with each progressive step closer, those reasons become more solid.

GoldBarrenCharlie,

It's good to see you posting again. Please post more. You've been missed.

Baires
