I spoke with Wayne at PDAC for about an hour. He is quite excited about Wildcats prospects, not only in Rice Lake area but also the other properties. Wildcat was down due to the lawsuit, but now that that is settled, they are ready to go. The VP of Exploration was in a meeting with Hudbay as I was talking with Wayne.

I think this board needs to investiage who the management is of this company is, because according to Wayne, the CEO has a very good reputation and was coaxed out of retirement three years ago to take on the Wildcat challenge. Why would he want to ruin his reputation with a company that is a loser? Anyways. I don't know the guy or his history, but if someone wanted to do some homework on the guy....??

Anyways, the diagram on the board at the Wildcat booth indicated drilling to begin on almost all of their properties by no later of 1st quarter next year.

Watch for a JV or Option Agreement sometime relatively soon.
