It's hard for me to determine whether the management change is good news or bad news because I have no insight as to the rationale behind the move.

The best case scenario may involve major shareholders thinking it was time to put a project manager in charge of seeing us through permitting, having got the benefit of a geologist in terms of sufficient resource delineation. That may be the rationale for promoting Brian Briggs. If it is the rationale, another CEO with operations experience may be installed during mine construction or shortly thereafter.

Trying to stay positive . . . and hoping to hear your thoughts on the matter.
