When a deal is on the table, but not in the publics eye;

Management is allowed to withhold results for a certain period.

Management is kept in place until the deal is finalized in a non hostile takeover, and sometimes certain appointees from an aquirer are put on management boards to control ,monitor and assure execution of a deal .

Depending on the size of the deal, laws are allowed to be broken.

If the government is involved, they usually have control to assure that a deal is executed.

You will have surveillence of phones, PC,s and even monitoring of meeting conversations, depending upon the importance of the deal.

Your governments control the policing agencies as well as the judicial systems.

It is definitely unethical for any government to try and steal a deposit from any shareholders.

Lori, I wish you would support us shareholders and prevent such a conspiracy from happening, Please go within and find yourself, you know this isn,t right.

Shareholders, hold onto your shares.

Thank you

Rick

Any shareholders that may have a little doubt on the property prospects, I suggest that you consult a geo with a hypothetical vein that is in comparison with one of the major ones SLI has, don,t tell the geo nor mention SLI, and see what his/her opinion is on such a scenario. I have tried this very strategy once, the geo,s reply more or less was extremely rich and many times above a mininum grade for viability and economics.
