Prime I think everyone is in a state of shock or disbelief that this could be the announcement on the drill permits, or the other news items we have been expecting! It has been a long time since meaningful news has come out regarding this company, news that increases the market value of the company. SLI has not traded 260 000 since Oct. of 2010 almost 5 months ago. I think people are just plain tired of talking so as to keep them from losing their minds waiting for a permit that was supposed to have been submitted and be getting approval anyday now since Feb. 2010.

Hopefully we are throught the largest length of time with no news. Only onwards and up for the rest of 2011. I have made known that I have been extremely frustrated with the length of this drill permit and I know that even though others on this board have tried to be as upbeat and positive with the company and the management, they too have been almost at their wits end even if they won't state that publicly on this message board. Certain people on this board have been afraid to offend certain members of management who they have met. I have personnaly met with Murray and believe me he is not offended by my views of what has not transpired in the last year. He sides with my view both from a professional and personal stand point. He has alot riding on the success of SLI and that includeds what he has personnally invested in time and money as well as the people he has got involved in this play, both close family and friends. If this is the announcement of the permits Murray may be happier than any of us.

Looking forward to seeing the iceberg dissappear and a swift flowing river take its place once it is melted. Tomorrow should be a higher volume day and the end of the bergs and also of the 1.70's.
