Dj. I'm not here to change anyones opinion of SLI or management, but I am here to say that not all people are frustrated. I understand that some are but remember that not all on this board share that discomfort. I for one am still very confident in SLI and the Tesoro and just gonna bide my time till things work out. I have seen our share price rise and fall like a toilet seat at a mixed party time and time again. Thats just part of the market. Every venture stock is small fish in this volatile market and they're all suspect to ups and downs. As far as the overseas visit goes I'm all for it. I think that they may be targeting larger companies. I mean ones that may be capable of buying a property like Tesoro. This is not something that your gonna see on the share price the next day, but may be invalueable when the major mining companies start placing bids for the Tesoro. I'd much rather see half a dozen companies wrestling check books in the bid for Tesoro than just one or two.

Do they know when they're getting the permit???????? I don't know! I think that statement was a forward looking statement and we would have all been better off not hearing it!! Do I think that management needs to address the shareholders?? Yes I do! A news release in the form of an update of current issues and plans would be in order and I have been in contact with management and expressed this concern as opposed to just talking about it on this board.

Do I think they have the permit! Not likely! I'm sure they'de gladly release it the instant they got it just to get everyone off their back.

We all watch other companies as well. I for one have followed CUU for a long time but just like SLI did in the past, I see CUU is starting to show a steady down trend as do many after a quick run up. Could we have made money over at CUU? Sure we could have! Would we have had the insight to by in? Who knows!!!!!!! I made a choice and I'm staying with it.
