Sculp, A famous US comedian by the name of Jackie Mason proved to me that nothing in this world has any value except perceived value. Take gold for instance. Gold is only worth what the world perceives it is worth at any point in time. Right now they think it is worth about $1700 dollars per ounce. We'll all take that I'm sure. As far as the majors are concerned I think they are on the prowl and the first indication that SLI has a real gold find, they will be there to jump on it before the next guy does! I think negotiations will start a lot sooner than our shareholders believe if some of your past postings are correct and I'm sure they are. Thanks Sculp, JW
