nighthawk, i respect your concerns.

We are longs here on this board, to try to hold onto the end. We are about a year behind because of the permit. But we are making steadier progress now. She just upped the trenching program, she wouldn,t do that if she didn,t have reason to believe it was worth while. She upped the drill program, same thing.Its hard to take what happened, I am there with you and everyone else on that. Apparently you didn,t sell, that will mean you are stronger and a believer, but your comfort has been shaken. I am not trying to patronize you, but look at the positives in the assays for various things that we are waiting on. Nobody could make a decision on that release and shouldn,t have sold. I suggested to you guys that the step down on the sp was orchestrated and it did not look like many were selling, it was an illusion created to scare people into selling their shares. It was a tree shake, and if you don,t know how to trade it, you are better off sitting tight if you believe.This sp will come back, hold onto your shares if you can and buy a few more if you can to lower your cost.

The shorters were in on this, because they advertised it months ago.I didn,t see it coming, but in retrospect, I should have seen the signs. I watched the trading, and for them not to get us below a support of around .70, when they wanted .10, says how strong we are.Most other venture stocks would have been completely wiped out by that kind of powerful attack. Not us, we put our hard hats on and stuck in there together!

We are gonna need this strength in an event of an offer, we just got a little stronger, and proved that we are worthy to withstand an offer battle.This is my second test, I didn,t sell and weathered both these attempts and I will continue to weather them until Lori says "now".

no disrespect intended
