Sheeee-iiiiiT it's cold here in Calgary, but I got my fingers working again so here goes.

I appreciate the perspective of Golfinger, Orange Flash and West Coast. I also appreciate Scoutaz's perspective. It has been a tough haul and privately, I'll bet even the stongest longs (like me) have regretted the sale of other stocks (that have since blossomed) to average down but we are where we are.

The Mexican business plan is solid regardless of the challenges, dissapointments and delays, but I agree with Scoutaz in that; I bought on day one (in 2007) for results. We wait and wonder but silver is as good as gold and as the price of those commodities improves the feasibility of La Yesca looks better and better. Everthing we have left in the tailings over the past four years is worth more today. Once the cow starts crapping, I'll be laughing

The McFaulds property has real value and we will soon have certified 55% privelege. Think 55% of $300,000,000 worth of mineable Cu once NOT & CLF have the kinks worked out on infrastructure. Jim is playing this hand as well as any one could ask. McGinty's mentioned Cu & Zn in his speech about the RoF and UC has the only 43-101 for each that I am aware of.

The problem Scoutaz and even I have is patience, so us longs must reinforce one another and talk to Jim and share his perspective here when we are antsy. I don't dissaprove of Scoutaz's rants, Jim's toes are securly in the fire and I know that he feels it like each of us. If I were retiring this year I would be freaking, but I have a 2.5 year time line and believe that UC offers a more potential explosion of SP than NOT or KWG or FNC or any other Ring of Fire player.

So these are the two reasons I work and save and invest and diversify.

It is also why I drink.

Take care Scoutaz, we feel your pain and only really want to encourage you to share your DD & polite perspective.

Cheers
