Pete, Encouragemnet to newcomers is great but encourage about the best aspects of our company. That being foremost the nickel content, next the contribution of other metals to the total value per ton, then the size of the resource and finally about the size of the land hold in the Ring.<p>
If we harp about platinum ( though a pricy one, we do not have enough) or palladium, understand that either one of these, and even the of copper, there is not enough. Their place is a secondary position in support of the nickel at Eagle's.<p>

There is so much nickel that if we ignore the other metals we still have valuble content and had the resource remained at 10 or even 3 million tons, eventually we would have a mine. Lack of infrastructure is the delaying factor to our mine.
How often can we find a five fold return on investment. We have here possible returns of 600+$ per ton on processing costs of $120.<p>

I point that out because mentioning ( in my opinion ) too often the less important aspects distracts from the primary focus and newbies may look at palladium and say there is not much there and go away. Similarly our impatience with management, government or natives are also a distraction.<p>

Missing what is really important, the viability and $ content of the totality. Cheers.
