In the past five years Palmer has drilled about ten different

grassroots properties that looked "encouraging", "promising",

"the right environment", etc., etc. after the initial drilling. But

If he would have supported the stock each time as you suggest

he'd be broke by now because eventually all the programs died a

quiet death - the programs essentially all failed.

Is this a knock against Palmer. No.

Probe is involved in 1,000/1 shots (pick a number). Success is

rare. The probabilities are this Probe McFaulds program will also

fail. Its the nature of a very very tough business. Few

explorationists like Palmer ever find a property that becomes an

economic mine.
