''getting anything out of this management is next to impossable''is precisely the reason I became disillusioned with this company and began demanding verification for everything.

They have a long history of ''hinting''events to come or even puting out ''anticipated'' news-then nothing.I recall people asking for drill results after news they would begin exploration drilling-and getting nothing.Remember the 10 minutes Fifer gave us out of a scheduled 30 minute CC? We have given up on getting our PDI shares,there may well be a good reason not to proceed with the spinout-but after numerous ''deadlines''surely we had the right to be informed why they wouldn't be proceeding instead of being left to speculate.I could go on and on-the ball mill we were supposed to get to increase the production was just another-then of course there was the percentage of Copper we were promised ,and didn't get-that was supposed to be compensation for getting a fraction of the price we said it was ''really worth''not a word more was said.It almost seemed if you learned the facts,it was by coincidence, not design



Unfortionately this cavalier treatment has become the rule rather than the exception...sorry if this isn't ''positive'' but those are the facts-and now the gold market has imploded-goodness only knows when that will come back-the historical record suggests it could be a lot longer than people would like to believe and what you end up with is ''dead money''which only serves to drive shareprices lower as the speculators move on to greener pastures

Thankgoodness we have gravel to sell...I think its going to be our life raft that keeps the company afloat
