It would not suprise me if the chinese were buying up a lot of dumped shares due to their need to own and control the wealth of the world. I believe they are most likely going to use their economic zone special privlages to help them up the road. They might try to cross file on our unpatented claims, file lode claims all over the mountain where available and placer claims where they are available. The chinese think in decades where we think in years and they are willing to wait out the impatient. A buyout from them may seem a good thing on the surface but I think we will not fare well with a buyout at this time, after we are in production and the share buyback is in full swing we will have a much more valuable company with a very nice share price that we can all be happy with. Now seems difficult to be optimistic but looking deeper and down the road a ways there is a lot of hope here, the silver and gold are here, you know it and the rest of us know it, now is not the time to lose our faith. Lets keep the gold for ourselves.
