20 yrs. ago, a highly respected Minister remarked " It's harder to remember a lie than the truth!" How true is this to-day. Small wonder why so many talented people to not want to enter the field of politics with all its lies, deceipts, false acclamations, betrayals, bashing opponents & needless expense. Politics is pervasive everywhere.

Silverado Gold Mines has been bashed for many yrs. as has Garry Anselmo - ruthlessly at times. Yet they have both survived & will continue to do so. Of course many mistakes have been made & lessons learned - none of us is perfect! $70 - 90 M has been invested in Silverado's 3 Alaskan properties - this has not been in vain & certainly all the infrastructures could not be started to-day. The entire truth about our crown jewel, the Nolan, has yet to be revealed in its entirety - yet progress will be made this year & we will learn much more & appreciate it.

Remember, sooner or later, the truth is always revealed about everything! Just like good cream, it always rises to the top. Be true to yourself, family, friends & ideals! It pays off in more ways than one.
