Kinross also “continued to plant seeds for future growth” (in 2007) by entering into a number of relationships and joint ventures with some of the best young exploration companies in the business, said Mr. Burt.

These include Victoria Resources, a Kinross-sponsored company with excellent prospects and drill results in Nevada, he said.

I hope kinross' "sponsored" does not  mean anything other then participating in our future success and not taking us out at some cheap price like $5.   i am hoping that the chad directed leadership is not just some inside set up to make things easy later on. Otherwise, Kinross and their comments are on target, they know what we have going on.
