Pangaea, thanks for changing avatar, not as scared anymore, Minnesota fats would have been more funny though.

who is to say that the 40 hole drill program is not done RC instead of diamond which will cost far less and be faster? and if the tunnel proves feasible the drill rate will be even that much faster and cheaper right?

and you estimate of "$31,383,204 additional needed to complete 41 holes in Helen" those are some exact numbers, i am impressed. highly questionable though.

or maybe your drill suggestions about wedging to VIT may be beneficial I am sure they would be open to hearing about it? if you are really long the stock which is debatable but you could provide guidance to the inept as you portray them, why not help me, you and them out? you could get a higher share price and bail on the stock.

if you are disgusted with the current board of directors why did you invest, did you think they were going to do better and now it turns out you don' t think they are? ( I think they are doing great for what they are dealing with). were you invested during the Clive Johnson days and happier? I can't believe that.

are you a former Geo for Victoria and now work for Newmont and have some leftover animosity for Raul?

what is the deal with continual bashing of Raul Madrid with no explanation or factual basis about him owning no shares, ever finding gold etc, where's your proof??? you insinuate a lot of bad things about him, seems like a lot of personal anger? former bema person with leftover shares?

and I am not sure where you get we are out of money in may not that it could not happen but where do you get your exact time frames? in Chad's recent presentation he stated that VIT had 6.5 million with a burn rate of $500,000 including 2 drills turning, is he lying to us?

yes we will need cash down the line at some point but I will wait til after the gateway merger is complete to see if there are any amazing plans for other acquisitions, the drilling program, cash on hand etc. I could not disagree with you more about them burning us into the ground by spending too much. I think the opposite, they are doing quite well considering the circumstances, we have a chance to survive. many or most do not. someone just told me that there are around 3400 juniors and 64% are selling for less then 2 cents.

the geos and directors ,they have been very accessible for questions, comments and communicating. something highly rare for people trying to hide a flaw or be pulling a scam on the stock holders. or in other juniors? find me another where they take the time to give status to the little retail guy?

I am not too worried about the gold being there and only am concerned with share dilution and being taken out too early by kinross ( the #1 for me) but that is part of the risk equation in my decision and i can do nothing about it other then investigate here and there.

otherwise i will just sit down, shut up and let chad drive the bus and Raul navigate, glad with Marcus being a super strong talented guy too. he is, enthusiastic, the expert at cove and motivated by the challenge of finding the gold. go read his recent piece in economic geology ( since i am sure you have access to it?) i will wait what it takes at cove McCoy to see what is there.

the rest of the boards qualifications speak for themselves, Sean Harvey built TVX out of the ashes to be something, Hugh agro does not sit on any other board, he must see something on victoria to waste his time giving advice and help in direction.
