Cowoy- Right now I'm a bit undecided as to whether to go or not. I'm away right now, and wouldn't be able to make any plans before I get back anyway. I might want to speak to RK before I decide. It would be nice to go, but with the SHM not including a visit to Silver City or any of the claim sites it reduces the draw a bit. Would be nice to see the mill and the changes, but the problem is that we have to rely on management to tell us what it is actually capable of and how efficiently it is operating, and we know how that goes... The biggest draw for me is not what we would be told, but the questions we could ask. And boy do I have questions. But while it would be cathartic to be able to ask them, again I'm not sure we would get any real answers. For example, what is PQ going to say when asked why we weren't told for two years that the mill was running at a loss, and that all the processed ore had so little gold removed that it is going to have to be processed again? And what would he say when asked why he and the mill manager had their salaries not only tripled but prepaid for a year for this abysmal performance? Not sure I want to go there just to pop a blood vessel... But if I do show up, I'll definitely need that beer.
