Kind words all - thank you - coming from you guys, that means something. It warms the heart to see so many "senior staff" on our board scouring the net for KXL tidbits so late in the day.

tau - you made me laugh. Guys filling their pockets with gold? Hmm - What I'm hoping for is enough gold soon that we can all go fill our pockets ... Actually, I'm perfectly happy to take it in multi-$ stock ...

spiny - excellent q about the exploration pipeline. I do think things are on a different footing than the Mackie/Maki days - Brian is serious about having only solid stuff go out. I think we know the basic idea from the presentations - only Hercules is at resource estimate stage, although Milestone or WG could get there quickly. Both still have a lot of exploration on-strike to do though, and then it would still take a lot of infill drilling. Those drill $$ might go to any other project as well - they are watching their $. Brenbar is very promising - the leftover ore that never made it to the mill is very high grade. That one could go any direction. West Millenium and Mines Point - you know as much as I do. There are a number of hot prospects as well for the coming year - the geo team is not at all short of well-researched ideas. I'd guesstimate 1 at the top level of the pyramid, two or three at the next level, a half dozen to a dozen at the level below that, and a dozen or more that are still on paper. Lots of field work gets done on the "ideas" levels (research, prospecting, trenching, sampling etc.) before they commit to drilling or make a fuss about it. Collectively the people on the board here all know a good deal and could update us. And more importantly Brian will update us in his presentations in the Winter/Spring.

Maybe in the agoracom "votes" I'll make a run at coach's rating ... (not likely!)

Portee - you made me laugh too - Brian did tease me saying it seemed I was looking for a job. But I like it better on the "outside"! Great also to see sinbads back - wonder if a few other "greats" will return? Where art thou, Proto-penguin!?

explorationguy - coming from an expert such as yourself, appreciate the +ve feedback - you can send me corrections via PM ... :)

mz - thanks for the kind words, indeed a few all-nighters involved. I smell some Ripple coming! Which I will be fetching in about a 1/2 hour ... Your point is well made about what a huge undertaking this is. It takes a lot of time, creativity and effort to explore such big roster of projects and huge set of claims.

Sincere all-best to all of you and wishing KXL is multiples of where it is now, soon! / cedar
