1) Primary purpose for the Association/Group will be to have direct Legal Representation/Contact with the BoD.

2) The Association/Group will be able to access more concise indepth Spending/Accounting break downs on Corporate Activity than is typically given in Quarterly and annual Reports to Share Holders, etc..

3) Meetings with the BoD/ or the CEO (Co-CEO's) the Association/Group's Three Representatives (representatives being preferred - as in Three for any particular contact with the BoD reps in face-to-face meetings and Signing all Correspondence with the Company and any others the Association/Group seek info from - which could include Mining Majors and Institutionals, etc.).

a) Registration to Group, shareholder declaration: some thoughts on this

As for declaration of ownership of Shares Held, it would need to be a requirement for membership. As to the number of shares Individually held? Knowing specifics so as to understand our relative strength will give credence to our significance both within the Association and with respect to our level of significance/respect pertaining to the Company but may cause problems as some will feel they will be discounted as Share Holders if seen to have relatively lower Ownership than a few of the much larger Associates/Group Members. This is a matter that may be a Legal essential, but if not we could simply require proof of ownership - though losing out on being able to demonstrate real Share Count strength. The division of the Association/Group into two sister organizations could address the Significance/Strength Issue - if it becomes a real sticking point.

Suggest that this be ingrained in the Group Mission Statement, "Regardless of the actual amout of shares owned, eg: 100 or 1,000,000, if you have registered with the group you have the voice of the collective membership with all its rights associated.

As far as actual assignment of shares to the association/Group? As we are not forming a Hedge Fund like Company with Limited Partnership, etc., (or are we) just an association of interested/concerned Share Holders. Thus Individuals will only have to agree to the Basic By Laws of the Association/Group which would, among a few other Ethical criteria, require Members to actually be holders of Shares.

b) Note that the ultimate goal is to have the BoD be Accountable to ALL Share Holders.We seek fair sharing of ALL Corporate Information and relevant Data, both Exploration wise, Financial wise as well as Corporate Plans, Intentions/Strategies, Vision/Goals, and Communication ETC. (as in who they are in discussions or Confidentiality Agreements, etc. with), and there by having the BoD be ACCOUNTABLE TO ALL Share Holders!

c) Once the Organization is formally started it will be rather simple to advertise and build membership.

d) Elections: Setting a Steering Committee and or assigning responsibilities to individuals will be (may be) much more involved and likely require significant time for selected individuals, who would need to argue their case for being selected as a person responsible for specific executive type activities/tasks/rolls. Many tasks could be "One Off's" and act as individuals participating in the Health of the Group.

e) Meetings: having a meeting and sharing location would be of added benefit to the maintenance and health of the Organization, ideally this should of course be in the province of Ontario

f) Group Communication:

1: Master List of Shareholders, i believe we already have a list, the proxy list will suffice to start but will get updated after formation ot the Investors Group.

2: Emails could suffice for basic info distribution. Voting on collective Matters could be a challenge. May lead to some difficulty which in turn may harm the effectiveness of the Organization - but could/would be very useful/helpful to providing direction to the Group.

3: a Distinctly Threaded Discussion Form would likely be the best place for Issues (day to day as well as ongoing). One would make MASS Dissemination of info much easier. Our good friend Sir George and his team of experts may be able to help us all out in this respect.

Some final thoughts: To start the ball rolling, first things first.

We need to get the logistics, legal, and contact info coordinated. There are those that post here regularly with the necessary means to effect same. I believe the list has shareholder contact info as of Sept. 22nd, 2008.

Once in place we can organize a working group Once to do the real work of looking out for our best interests, getting the word out to all Share Holders and the Public alike.

Yes we will have to implement a contact the shareholder campain once again.

Initially, there should be enough support and membership coming straight from those Posting and or only Reading this Forum. However it is imperitive that all NOT Retail shareholders be contacted IMO.

A "Keep It Simple" approach will get the best basic results.

A little about me for those that may be wondering, I am a happily married man who's very fortunate to have an imense wealth in my 5 beautiful girls, i'am not wealthy and most certainly not an accredited investor by any stretch of the imagination, while i'am also sure that my NOT holdings would pale in comparison to many here none the less i am more than confident about what lies beneath the tundra in the ring of fire, for discloser I and my girls do own shares in most of the ring, some players more than others. I do not have an alterior motive for the formation of the group rather quite the inverse, i can't stand being treated like a 68 pound weakling when it comes to my investments. My free time is precious as you may well imagine with 5 daughters pulling my heart strings, however, i can and have made time for the formation of the NOT Investors Group.

I would also like to invite Sir Richard to the Forum and welcome his input, Jennifer, when you read this would be so kind as to pass this along to your father.

Back on the Edge of my Seat....striving for the greater good.

Best Regards
