Hi J2T

Steve's vacation has been widely discussed on IV. Being an optimist the bottom of this ride must be coming up shortly. The bail out of the financial institutions by the various governments should restore confidence. That coupled with lower interest rates should stimulate more lending and borrowing.. As I see it there is no NR about CIVC because there is no money available to take the project further. The recent bail outs may mean that raising investment capital for future drilling becomes easier. Its a hope anyway.

Marlin, you had me going there. I had to recheck my earlier post to see what I had put. Yes the Sams is slipping down a treat.

Best wishes to all
