Good morning all,

Can anyone tell me if we brought this issue to Dave Webb's attention last year and whether or not he responded. My memory is a bit weak on this point and I don't want to ask him a question that he has already addressed.

re: "short of gold OTC derivatives are a primary criterion for large development loans of the modern day gold mining finance model. They are no longer on the books of the producer but rather contained in the indenture of the note. It is a misassumption to feel that we all need massive funds to accomplish our goals even if they are sizeable in the end."
