Rick, Thalio and anyone else that is interested, I had my get together with Malcolm (and Lawrence) this morning. For the most part, it was a rehash of various announcements made by the company previously. The new 'digs' are very nice ... even the temporary area they now occupy while waiting for the completion of the build-out of the labs and space they will ultimately occupy.
Both were extremely emphatic in denying that there have been any leaks. When directly confronted, both strongly stated that they have not had and do not have any relationships whatsoever with anyone who has access to any confidential and/or proprietary information concerning the corporation except those which are of a contractual nature and those are covered by confidentiality agreements that would preclude insider information from being 'leaked' to individuals or companies such as those which have claimed insider information. So much for the sushi claims.
Also, I did ask some questions which would have been construed as asking for 'insider' information. There was a polite declination to answer those. LOLOL
Bunker Hunt is a Beneficial Owner and that is the reason he must be listed. Those who have been around for a few years understand that situation. Of course, it seems good to have a heavyweight like him holding an interest such as he holds.
Both stressed that the increase in authorized shares is more of a step towards being ready for eventualities instead of being for specific scenarios which have evolved. Their stated attitude is that it is better to be prepared with shares which are not needed rather than not having them if they are needed.
Had the opportunity to congratulate both Yin and Harilyn on their latest work and discoveries. Both are as exhuberant as ever and will probably be working thru the holidays. Now, that is important. My sneakey questions designed to elicit some 'good info' didn't get to first base. My guess (and this is pure speculation on my part) is that the 'science section' of our investment is going far better than anyone is saying, and what has been said is pretty darned near to earthshaking, in my opinion.
Well, that leads to the question of whether I learned any specifics that will make me run out and mortgage the farm to increase my holdings. The answer remains that I won't do that. However, if the question is, "Will we continue to add a little here and there," then the answer remains an emphatic YES.
