does seem to have a knack for picking properties that were either once the site of old gold mine areas or he kind of swoops in on unclaimed territory that is relatively close to where companies that have something going for them, have their properties. I did hear that KXL would like to have beaten him to the punch regarding some of the GE properties we have. So I guess what I am trying to say is that Nigel is alive and well on planet earth and very much aware of his surroundings. LOL Yes, I do understand that we are still a speculative possibility but I am hoping to see us 'graduate' to a speculative probability in 2009. We certainly do have the potential. We have cash and if past experience is an indicator, we have the ability to get more. We have interesting properties and we have good leadership. Some would say that all we need now is good luck. I personally do not believe in 'good or bad luck' but to each his own.

Have a great new year guys and gals,
