The "insider trading" is the replacement of stock options which serve to keep key employees keenly interested in the success of the company, and the growth in the stock. It's better for us shareholders than paying higher wages and cash compensation, as it saves cash for operations and also shows long term commitment of these key people.

I was surprised to read 8 barker seems to want to see tyhee being acquired. But that is not the stated goal of the CEO. His stated goal is to bring a mine into production, grow the company and ultimately be an acquirer of other exploration companies. This is the goldcorp story, and one of the key insiders at tyhee was with goldcorp when they graduated to the majors.

I am in this to be an owner of a producing gold mine with vast pottential for resource growth. I don't want DW to shop the company around for majors.

Having said that, a joint venture with a major taking a minority stake the the compnay, but accelerating the mine development as well as exploration -- that may be beneficial as it will keep us on the course to owning a mine, but also accelerate it and push up the share price.

I hope that others agree that we do not want to be taken out. bying in is OK.

are you on the IN our the OUT side of this issue?
