Vette: Thank you for your post. I specifically asked Mike last week in a telephone call about the new land package. I asked him why there was no announcement and he indicated that it didn't make a material change in the company. I felt as if it was almost as if he was trying not to bring any attention to it. When I asked him why they were purchased he indicated for the exploration potential. When I asked why they selected these particular parcels as opposed to other land parcels, he said he couldn't say. I do want to say that at all times I find Mike helpful and informative. I respect that there are certain things he may not be able to say for the longer term gain. I did find it curious.

The above is merely my recollection and perception of the call. Please do your own due diligence or confirm with the company.

Good luck to all.
