Dear Mr. Briscoe:

Simplest of questions:- When will drilling begin? If it is possible to answer- please do so as a temporal response and not a conditional response (i.e. when we get sufficient funding).

Secondly: Do you intend to use a portion of the Tangier's funds for at least an initial start of the drilling?

Thanks for considering everyone's questions- these included- and for your efforts on everyone's behalf over the years.
