OK-enough of the back and forth. It is easy to get sucked in- and hard to resist replying- and I am as guilty as anyone- but in the meantime- there is gold and copper awaiting!

We need to find our way to fund the drilling of the HM Copper targets.

Supposedly, there are possiblities of deals initiated by both BG and JB. These need to be pursued aggressively and- jointly.

Because most deals fall through- we shouldn't be sitting around waiting for their completion. We mustn't be sitting idle, waiting on these deals and then start to seek new deals only after they fall through. Management needs to be out there beating the bushes and aggressively seeking more deals. Not only does that provide for more opportunities- but if we were to have the luxury of multiple suitors- (were it only so) we could even be the beneficiaries of a bidding war-(wouldn't that be something).

And now the knowledge that there may be significant and relatively easily accessable Carlin style- but possibly high grade- gold deposits on one of our newly acquired claims raises new possibilities for deals and even self funding. (We are talking deposits at 10 to 100s of feet instead of thousands.) It is my understanding that BG is aware of this- I would hope so- and so we should hear from him regarding plans for this area.

And finally- speaking of getting back to business- management needs to stop wasting time and energy and limited money on nothing more than creating an impediment to doing business- namely by dropping the lawsuits.

We need to begin drilling. Either gold or copper. Maybe the gold first. That's where our efforts need to be directed.
