Excellent comments Molson!

So, yet again, another curious statement made before 100,s of investors/people by our CEO.

What would be a reasonable interpretation of the CEO,s comment as such?

Were the BOD there to step up and say "no Lori, you shouldn,t say this, this is not right?" If the BOD was there and allowed and condoned her to continue with the U.S. comments, then wouldn,t that only substantiate more, that Lori was telling the truth? Or, on the flip side, that she was fabricating and the BOD were supporting her? Either way, that particular statement, only one of so many we have witnessed, has so many important unanswered questions.

So, as you say Molson, why the need for "protection"? And especially from the U.S. Army? A little ole exploration company would never need protection from such a prestigious element, if it was just a little ole exploration company, one would think and interpret. So, could this be a misleading statement and perhaps an entrenching statement, to keep investors holding their stock? Yet, another statement and reason for investors not to sell, perhaps led on by the fact that an air of secrecy, means something big.

If this is indeed true, that Dakota, a decorated war hero, verbally endorsed SLI, would he be willing to make a public statement supporting Lori,s claim? I see he has a considerable reputation and is in the news the last several days, as per the links below. I will also say that there seems to be some controversy around the event that enabled Dakota and Swenson to become national heroes. Apparently, backup seems to have been called for, but was perhaps ignored, as stated in one of the articles below. Nevertheless, it seems that Dakota is a man of integrity and stands up for truth, perhaps he can be contacted to get his take on SLI, that he invested in? Any investigative journalist worth their weight, would pursue an interview with Dakota, to see what, if any light could be shed on the CEO,s remarks? Can some investor contact any media source that is covering the Dakota/Swenson story, and make the connection to our lengthy battle? Can some investor take the time to do this, I would, but it seems my capabilities have been restricted and perhaps compromised to a degree that I may have been blocked contact with certain avenues.

Also, there appears to have been a flyover survey of the Tesoro several years ago, by a guy that has done work for the U.S. Geological service, other U.S. Departments in the past, and has coincidently performed flyovers of Afiganistans suspected great mineral wealth. If this is true, which I believe it is, this may explain why Dakota, as well as some of the U.S. Navy/Army, had invested in SLI in the first place. There are some conspiracy theorists that believe part of the cause for war in Afganistan is because of its rich resources, what if our war with SLI management, regulators, government officials, media, is because of a rich resource? It becomes perfectly clear, when almost $300 million dollars has been erased from a market cap of a stock, and when all the evidence is not fully appreciated by those in charge to protect, that there is definitely something else going on.

Remember Lori,s remark at the 2012 Calgary meeting, in reference to the geophysical anomalies discovered by Quantec on the Tesoro, " its impossible to have those type of readings, and for nothing to be there." There was some type of geophysics done on the Tesoro around 2007, as far as I know, that geophysics was never reported to the shareholders or public. As far as I can see, this was a withholding of material fact, just another in a long line of what can be described as violations of the laws governing the protection of investors. It is my opinion, that the 2007 geophysics may have suggested the great hidden deep potential of the Tesoro, and that the subsequent deepening of the adits to 100m and beyond, verified the suspicion that anomalies at depth held considerable gold amongst the other metals, mainly copper. A huge copper find would be very valuable, but add in, or surpass that, with a huge gold component, then a deposit could become a "strategic asset", a term used by our friend, kherson. Then, you can loop this right back, as to why the U.S. may be interested and the rumoured remark by Lori, " I am going to bail out the U.S. Government". At this point, you can also add Buffet into the picture, a patriot, if you will, for the U.S., that is evident in so many of his actions, a couple would be, him in favour of raising the rich,s taxes, and bailing out banks/s.

We should also add in here, the use of private jets by our CEO, NetJets, a company in which Buffet has great interest in, as per the link below.

One can also remember here, the eating of lobster in the sky, while SLI representitives were on their way to the Petroleum Club in Edmonton, where rumour has it that the CEO said, this, (meaning SLI), would be a triple digit stock. The triple digit was interpreted by investors to mean, in the 100,s of dollars per share. Add in here, the Forbes interview, that came later on, in which Lori proclaims that we are on the verge of a huge gold find and that she "knows".

Note to Lori; if you are being suppressed or taken down by the infamous "old boys club", speak your truth and join the shareholders here to fight going forward, this is where your strength is, these shareholders will not give up, whereas the the club will abandon you. You are most likely considered a risk to the club, whereas you revealed too much to shareholders. The old ways of how everything worked, is dismantling at an alarming rate, imploding. Those fortunate enough to jump off the ship and support the upward spiral of truth, will be granted at least a marginal immunity. The choice is always yours of course, for we all have free will, and yet again, I reach out a hand to you, to help.

thank you
