Good luck getting any info from the company. As you stated, they are bound and vulnerable to repercussions from their statements. When I last spoke with David Smith, he was trying to get some additional info from Mineros regarding what they found between 30 and 50 meters (a depth no one has ever been to). Principles of alluvial caches point to greater concentrations at greater depths, above bedrock. This would seem to be the single greatest signal of what the future holds. Its been frustrating as many others stated. Mineros was flying off the handle when the DD phase was announced, and even sounded like they might have been interested in buying GSDC. Now that they've entered into phase I of their options, the make announcements about a library opening, being a financially well respected company and similar announcements. I don't know how to read this, but all we can do is sit tight and wait. I too am interested in whatever response you obtain. GLTA
