Hey langosta,

if you got burned in ARU, bummer, sorry, you must not have been in at the 20 cents to low $ range.....hopefully in at 20 cents here does the trick. as you learn the background of directors, the geos and the land package you will realize that we certainly could have ARU type finds. you are still early to the game here. my only hope or concern since owning has been to keep kinross at bay as long as possible. it seems to me, the only hurdle to big time share price appreciation.

i think we have a good chance to at least get out of the barn and a good run going. beyond that who knows. things here are a lot more complex too. ARU was one property, no jv's and straightforward?

with VIT, they can't upset the geos who hold the key to finding this deep stuff.....raul a master on the systems, unbelievable knowledge of all of Nevada and beyond. also, Marcus, highly driven to succeed, motivated to learn on his own and from Raul and the expert at cove. he is much stronger then most even realize. so kinross may tread lightly here to make sure they are happy.

chad, although prodded to take the position by Tye Burt appears not to have just come over to build something to then be taken out right away. he is busting his ass with long hours, not a sign of anyone being taken out quickly.

the properties, many of them and not simple with pieces owned by Newmont of course. Mill right next to Barrick's Cortez hills who have an idea what is there and would not want to see it go cheap.

cheers
