Hi Ed,

Sorry it has taken some time to respond to this post of yours, I had taken some time to consider how I would respond and also considered the content I would share.

I see from time to time, that some get discouraged and disgusted with how everything has gone for us, and do see many instances through conversing with shareholders, the loss of much hope at times. This is to be expected whereas the immense pressure endured by shareholders as a result of their rights being continuously denied, takes its toll for short periods of time. What I mean by "Renewed Hope", is that I believe shareholders can take the property renewals as such renewed hope and perhaps even a turning point in this from the usual status quo, of us being abused and ignored. Apparently someone paid those leases unbeknownst to Lori, and this is a good sign.

I have also been, and still am, confident and comfortable that shareholders will get what is rightfully and fairly theirs in this investment. My hope has never been lost, evidence of that is depicted in the fact that I am still here supporting this stand. I guess you could perceive my "renewed hope" statement as perhaps an elevation of original hope.

I first entered this stock by consulting one simple rule of thumb of the gold mining industry at the time. It took then ~ 7 g/t gold minimum to be economical for a shaft mining project and a ~ 3g/t gold minimum to be economical for an open pit scenario. SLI was multiples of this and it was easily established that this is a very rich mine, thats all I needed to know when I invested. Since that initial evaluation, and upon analysing the historic data, in conjunction of updated data as it came out, it became totally clear that this is really huge and a no brainer that this was a very profitable investment. All it takes for anyone, even someone new looking at this today to make a determination, is to just look at the consistent grades of the C-1, C-2, C-3, A-4, not to mention the grades of all the other veins. And, when you throw in a copper complement, you don,t even need the grades I mentioned above, they can be considerable less to be economical. So, by even just this one determination, it is blatant that this is a huge cover up.

We are all rich, its just the matter of getting things in the public eye and showing the truth to the world, so that it is not covered up. For authorities to be doing nothing in shareholders favour in consideration of all the pumping statements and documentation by Lori and management, it shows that she was NOT LYING and not pumping, the mining stock report, her comments about a triple digit stock and so on, are all facts, they are not lies, for if they were/are lies, then the RCMP and other authorities would have been able to move swiftly to shut her down, protecting shareholders and upholding integrity in the markets.

Many in this stock, have followed their heart by sticking with it, by being negative, it contradicts what the heart/intuition may be telling each, perhaps it is always best to remain positive despite of all considered bad things that happens to one?

Hope this helps.

Rick
