i have spent the last 20 min going over the posts since Thursday....i cannot beleive the amount of negative comments...some of you guys need to take a reality check....with the current economic climate, the price of nickel and all of the businesses and mining claims, mining opreations falling all around us Gary comes up with a financial deal that would have likely been the only possible way to save Liberty Mines from complete disaster...is this the best possible deal? if we were in strong economic times, likely not....where we are now, i see it as a potetially outstanding deal....i think Gary deserves congrats on a job well done...it may just be the human way to be chronic complainers and naysayers...but WOW !!!!! get real guys, what would you have expected here, it sure is wasy to sit on the outside and be armchair QB's, get in the trenches boys and see what the real world is like out there
