Ever have trouble with your lights? You check bulbs, OK, check wires, OK, check fuses, OK, check battery connections, OK, everything is OK. BUT... they don't work. Finally, after all the time and expenses you find out you don't have AUTO-ON lights and have to turn on the "SWITCH"???????

Owing SLI is sort of like that; we have dug tunnels and shafts, done all kinds of samples. Dug and taken samples from all the veins. Done 1D, 2D and 3D mapping (Quantec). Ditching and trenching, more samples, doing drilling and core samples. We've hired the best GEO's, surveyors, lawyers, sales promotion personnel, public relations personnel, travelled the world promoting and hosted a steady stream of B&B's. Is there any other "SWITCH" that has been missed that will delay the sale of Tesoro for another 1-2 years? Can Canadian or Peruvian government help or hinder this sale? What more proving has to be done other than using equipment and digging out the gold ourselves? What other delays could possibly occur?

They say time turns a sweet head of cabbage into wilted pile of sauerkraut. Don't get me wrong, I love sauerkraut, but I'm starting to get a sour taste in my mouth. My FREEDOM 55 account is turning into FREEDOM 65. I AM long SLI (since 2003) BUT.....THANK GOD (SERIOUSLY) FOR AVON AND MAKE UP.
