I think reality is the word of the day.

IMO it is important to consider where our expectations are drawn from. The reality is much of the many expectations are derived from speculation. The closest thing to a statement of fact that management has put forth has been anecdotal statements from Murry that news is coming soon...this in itself is vague and speculative.

If there have been delays somewhere in the many business and operational processes, which by the way is the reality of every business large or small I have ever been associated with, then ask yourself...how would the SP react to a steady diet of NR's the begin with "The Tesoro project has been delayed due to..."

IMO it would unnecessarily shake the entire stability of the shareholder base, because as we know shareholders are prone to rampant speculation and that can only mean negative results.

There have been many suggestions over the last couple months that Lori has not been accessible to shareholders, I for one am glad that is the case... With all due respect to those who have voiced that opinion this is CEO trying to build a multi-billion dollar company at possibly its most critical point in its history...she is not a professional athelete signing autographs. Murry works tirelessly to try and answer those 100's of "when are we getting assay results?" type questions. that is part of his job.

IMO it would be foolhardy to vote your shares based on unrealistic expectations founded on shareholder speculations.

It will serve our company well if everyone takes the time to step back, consider, then vote on analyzed fundamentals, acquisitions and other operational progress YTD, overall SP performance YTD, Management performance and effort, and any other factual news.

These comments are not directed at anyone in particular as I appreciate the fact that the topic is being discussed...I feel based on the many threads over recent weeks that many share these opinions and felt I should express mine.

Be good
