Thanks, bushwhacker.

I guess one other point to all of this is that those of us that have held the stock for a while had the opportunity to sell at $0.26. It pains me to think about that, but I think most of us believe that more fair valuation for SXL is $0.30-$0.40, and many of the "tekkies" were telling us it was heading to $0.60. Where are they now, anyway?

As far as the ramp issue, maccuaig, remember that at the time SLAM was doing some delineation drilling of the high grade zone to increase hole density as per the 3rd party engineering audit's recommendations, and when testing the geochemical and geophysical anomalies, then made the discovery of the Hickey extension which as we know is near surface, open pittable, 2 km in strike length and up to thicknesses of 40 m. The drilling of this zone must be near completion, and then a feasibility study will determine the most effective, PROFITABLE way to exploit these resources - begin with a ramp in the high grade zone or start with a large, shallow open pit.

On another note, bushwhacked, is that a small cow that looks like a cat or a cat that's the size of a small cow - with all due respect to the critter. Whatever it is, watch your back when lifting it!

Have a great week!
