Thanks for your thoughts, Twilight. I, for one, do appreciate your opinion. Of course, everone's risk tolerance is unique and one must weigh the factors in the light of that. I guess in my mind, CMM stands out amongst Venture stocks as a distinctly better opportunity for short term rapid appreciation, even though this is not currently being realized (post the runup after completion of the financing package). The tremendous amount of planning which has gone into the Lamaque Mine I find most impressive in itself, though I have no idea just how effective it will prove to be.

We all know, or should know, that there are no sure bets on the Venture Board, eh? If anyone knows of such, please pass the word so we can get in and accelerate the process.

Best, O.F.
