The war between the Little Minions and the Blue Whale Dorks raged on. With Dark Dork forces moving in from both sides of the TPW, attempting to steal the Little Minions GOLD, they struggled to hold the price of their little resource company’s stock. The Dork forces are formidable, and yet, the Little Minions continue to invest more and more of their hard earned money, fighting, and believing, like David did with Goliath, that eventually they would prevail!! On occasion, following the battles of the day, one or two of the Little Minions had suggested that maybe the rumoured .50 or .60 per share is a good deal? The most senior Elders always retort, “Yes it is!! We would all be very happy to sell 10% of our little exploration company for that! Let’s all remember the Probe clan, and how well they all made out with a little patience.”

In preparation for the Battles of the week of August 2nd, The Little Minions gathered at the Grand Minion Hall. A hush fell across the Hall as the Grand Master entered. He looked around the vast Hall, and was clearly moved by the numbers of his brethren. “Firstly, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you all for your support. Thank you to the Clans from the United States for your growing contributions. Thank you to the Clans from Europe as well for your support. And thank you to all my friends, and relations from across Canada, especially to those on the front lines in Timmins. A very special hurrah to all of you! And please, a moment of silence for all The Little Minions that we have lost over these past difficult months.” Heads bowed, tears flowed, and sobbing was heard. He continued, “Our fight is NOT just about money. It’s also, more importantly, about what is RIGHT! A loud throng of cheers and clapping resounded around the Hall. The Grand Master continued, “You’re all aware of the drilling at our Kidd Creek property, and the unsolicited call from Glencore to ‘Call when you HIT SOMETHING!’ Rumour had it the crew took the long weekend off to be with family and friends, but instead, were actually replaced by a more senior drilling crew, with far more experience. The latest report from the site is that they have achieved a depth of roughly 760meters, or 2,490ft. Rest assured they will find the Exhalite, in turn the VMS!” Another very loud round of cheers and clapping. “Further, the Ogden results will be out in the next day, or two, and I for one am really excited about that, especially considering the proximity to the Big Dorks encampments so close at hand. Add to that the new discovery by the Biggest Dork of them all directly west of the TPW, and I say, “Hail to the Minions!” And all The Little Minions echoed the call, “Hail, Hail, Hail, to The Little Minions! Flatulence to All The Big Dorks!!!”
