Thanks, Kerry -- I recall that move now -- it had slipped over the horizon in the course of time and events. I may try this when I can get myself organized to do so.

The other aspect, malfeasance of the brokerage in the event of a financial cataclysm was more on my mind, remote though this possibility seems in Canada. Mr Sinclair had me seriously thinking about this, but when I think of the negatives in registering shares, wonder if it isn't better to accept this as one more risk amongst a multitude when speculating in Venture companies. We have to be ingrained optimists to play in this game.

My ace-in-the-hole Silvermex which we figured would soon be worth $5.00 is now in the process of being bought for 60 cents! Sure hope NOT doesn't go the same way.

O.F.
