Great news and great posts gents.

red911 you asked if anyone knew anything about these people.

1) Thomas J. Barber, KXL board - Chairman of Deutsche Bank's Global Natural Resources Group - I bank with Deutsche Bank and this guy is a heavy hitter. As has been said, he is joining only because big events are set to happen.

2) Tony Wood - I spent a good deal of time with him and was very impressed. He has a well rounded, widely travelled and practical mining background with a variety of firms. What caught my attention was that he does not only what you'd expect of a CFO - get all the financials in order and optimize the effectiveness of dollars spent - but more importantly he has uppermost in his consciousness the maximization of shareholder value - and share price.

I have not been at liberty until now to comment on these changes but you've probably noticed that my posts have maintained a drumbeat about the seriousness that the team brings to the success of Kodiak. The more august and results-based nature of the press releases are now also reflected in the new website. I have remained long throughout and continue to believe that everyone involved will be rewarded.
