I know this is a risky investment! Most exploration stocks are. I think SLI is different Why? Sculpin's ,Hog's, Bow's and the list goes on of the people that have interpreted the past results for us. They all point to a huge potential gold find. The Quantec 3D images all justify my staying with the SLI group. Now for Lori's important consistent statements when interviewed: When are you going to make it? Lori answered NOW. Why do people invest in small gold miners like SLI? They want the opportunity to make a 10 or 20 BANGER. She's been totaly consistent (even in the face of incomplete drilling results) in saying NOW!

If you watch all her interviews Lori says she has a small cap gold mining company and that small caps have the potential to be 10 or 20 bangers and she said those words when the stock was at $2.00 and still consistently uses them while we are waiting for results.

I listen to what Lori says. I could care less about some of our shareholders opinions about her looks and/or her demeanor. Lori seems to be tough (how many of us men would be able to handle a room full of female frustrated investors) and I get reports from many knowledgeable people (men) that Lori did a great job. Again I could care less about the silly things some of us are worrying about at this point.

By the way last year we asked Lori to be more interactive and to update us more frequently. I asked her to do as much Public Relations work by taking interviews whenever she could. ...Guess what she's given us everything we have asked for except.........And I truly believe she will deliver those results in the very near future if she is following a concise plan to identify the gold deposit that we have at Tesoro.

Tesoro has the potential to produce a stock worth $10-$20/share and that's why I'm invested. Many large cap stocks are priced according to the known, but that's why SLI is potentially worth a 10 or 20 banger! The unknown by many, but the expected by the SLI investors! No other small cap that I'm aware of has this potential so I'm waiting to prove that Tesoro is loaded with gold as shown by Quantec and eluded to by past reports. JW
