Thanks for the reply. It appears very little said gets the attention of management. We live in a world where there are those who believe that they know best and make decisions for the benefit of whole. These are the Lords of the Realm who make a substantial return on their time only because they control the strings to the purse. Their mandate is to reward themselves for what they perceive to be a very substantial contribution to the overall benefit of the masses. In fact, they do relatively little good except pay themselves rather well! I believe it is the fiduciary duty of management to inform shareholders. I am really tired of hearing "building shareholder value" particularly when I have already lost a considerable investment. When a company refuses to release information on a timely basis, it robs the investor of the ability, actually the right, to make an informed decision. This is just wrong! I would like to know if the first rig has hit the property as it was supposed to in the second week of August. Too, I would like to know when the second rig is scheduled for placement. This cannot be that difficult. Contracts with drillers must be signed and honored, therefore, it is safe to assume that a schedule must be adhered to. Perhaps we are waiting until the last man has been able to "get in" at favorable pricing before any news is released. While I continue to believe in the Snow Lake area, I must say that I have become completely disillusiioned with the management of VSM. It is very difficult to believe anything they say. Shame on you! I even gave them a break in a previous transmission. I feel like a fool! I encourage others to speak out and speak loudly.
