Good morning Anton et al:

Anton, I have been playing in the JPMs for years now and have had my bottom handed to me...so I have some catching up to do. The only consolation I have is that I am in some very good company. My/our fatal error going back 11 years or so, was not recognizing the determination and power that the gold cartel really had and how long they could manipulate and illegally suppress the juniors, with special emphasis on the last few years. As you know they are woefully undervalued and the leverage from here to the upside is tantalizing indeed. Although they have been unsuccessful in preventing the price of gold from appreciating from $250 up to $1100, they have been most tenacious and devious in preventing it from reaching its intrinsic price. That is all ahead of us and we all know where that is going.

You and others who are just now getting into this market have chosen an excellent entry point. I am convinced that the next few years will be most exhilerating for the JPMs. As Spiny just most ably pointed out, SFMI is a standout in this junior sector just from the perspective of market capitalization alone. It has yet to be "discovered" by the throngs forthcoming. There are very few juniors in the world that have the basic ingredients that SFMI has, given that it is so close to production.

That does not mean that there aren't many with huge potential, and that there aren't many that will be 5 to 10 baggers, but I can't seem to find any at this price, in a safe geopolitical environment, financed into production and cash flow, with generous, high-grade above ground resources, huge, potential, accessible "deep storage" high grade gold and silver, low cost extraction, exciting, reliable historical data, infrastructure in place, advanced mining structure in place, friendly local community, no environmental impediments, clean milling process fairly tightly held, and more. And by the way, never have I seen things progress so rapidly with a junior in spite of the one year hiatus re the mill relocation. That may have been one of the most positive developments in the long run due to the unfolding, positive, global, macro developments.

I was informed of this opportunity by PMseeker a few years ago and I am looking forward to the day I can shake his hand and buy him a beer or several, somewhere down the line. Several of us have held on to this stock through thick and thin but we are close to realizing a very handsome return in my opinion. There have been times I was a doubter, to be honest. I was somewhat concerned about management for awhile but I have now seen the dogged track record and the savvy effort invested in this venture, so I am of the mind that they have been more than successfull. The man has motre than proven himself. Both he and Rich have endured some pretty tough tmes. Kudos to them.

This is fair BB to post on where posters can freely express honest opinions and those with hidden agendas are not welcome.

Maybe I didn't clearly answer your question re other SFMI's out there. I can't find many at low prices that don't have a lot more drilling to do, much further dilution, anwhere from one to 5 years until they can be into production, infrastructure to build/access, etc. There are many that will no doubt be take out targets because of their drilling results and building potential reserves, or those that seem to have hit a bonanaza hole or two who's share price will react suddenly upwards. There are several that will no doubt be bought out this year but so far, this has not increased their share price that much for shareholders save for a few like Kinross's take out of Aureian in Ecuador ....But that was a high grade, large deposit and the shareholders got the shaft getting only 39% of a class action suit claim. ( I think there was abot 150 million shares out and drilling indicated about 15 millon ounces high grade gold). But, Ecuador is a poltical risk.

I Expect much more to come and those with the "goods", fairly tightly held like SFMI, I expect will demand a very good offer for shareholders
