Well- another week coming. Another opportunity to hear about a deal to get drilling started and/or get started exploiting our Carlin Style Gold Asset. Will we hear hear something? Or more silence. The announcement of several CAs- although not bad- is at this point just window dressing- a dime a dozen. For those who want to hear an even handed assessment- I would have to say we were optimistic when we heard of many CAs and NDAs when JB was in charge- and, unfortunately, these also did not result in deals. 

So we need to hear more. Not that "Brett" isn't occasionally out in the field- working- getting his loafers dusty. It is really pathetic that it was considered newsworthy that he spent a whole 3 days out in the field (and what was he doing out there anyway- did he have any clue as to what he was looking at?). JB would have spent more time working on our behalf- in the field- in the office- (in the days when we had one)- and out drumming up investors than that in and every week. Sitting back in Colorado and accumulating shares for himself doesn't count as working on our account. Putting out useless unannotated maps instead of really addressing outstanding issues and impediments doesn't count. Wasting our time and our money on idiotic, self-serving, self indulgent lawsuits- at our expense- also doesn't count.

There needs to be an aggressive and single minded push to get a deal done. Does "Brett" really want a deal at this time? He and "Pete" don't own the whole company yet. Are they the going to do it? Are they going to spend the time and effort? Or are they going to just sit back- let time and funds fritter away- and then come in- pick up the pieces- and then conclude a deal? Their actions over the next few weeks will tell the tale.
