That's all well and good Traps, but the gravitational swirl is having an adverse effect on the shareprice. This company should have 100 million less shares and be trading for 3$ more today. Dale and Hugh shoulda woulda coulda focused a little more on you and me and less on the ambitious production fantasy.
If you think being at the same level as April 2006 is something to be patting yourself on the back about with the geography SGR has, then Dale deserves all those options. Now miniNED runs the show and who knows what kind of vehicle San Gold gets used for. The majority ownership of this mine is pillaging it from the long term shareholders much the same way as the big banks are stealing money from the future generations of peasants.
