I recently had a similar discussion with another board member, and my concern was slightly different. Given the circumstances, I believe that management has made the right calls in the strategy to prove up the resources given the potential of the hinge and other drill bits perforating the ground.

My major concern was that shareholders were not properly informed of the impact of the decision to refocus on exploration would have vis a vis the production targets being put in the "back seat".

There is no question in my mind that management is doing the right things, but they did not communicate this change in strategy very well which makes expectations hard to manage.

Just my two cents...
