interesting points...you mentioned.. "If you are really negative, many management teams for previous exploration companies just try to keep things afloat even if they know they don't have the goods, awaiting an exit strategy, collecting cheap options, compensation - whatever they can if it doesn't work out. They won't stand on the roof top shouting that things are bad - will never happen. There is ALWAYS a positive spin...." - I can appreciate where you are coming from but this chocks up to the high risk aspect of a venture gold exploration stock... its a chance investors have to take. I believe if she knew what she had ...other then some field testing which is of course speculation(currently possessed more core assays) legally we also would know by now. Lori is very adamant when it comes to following rules to the letter. however i believe with her knowledge of the property to date, her confidence in what MAY be there is not based on high hopes and I have every bit of confidence that she knows what she is doing. Time will tell and since this is a high risk investment opportunity I will continue to read between the lines as with managements style I have no choice lol. It just seems to me that some of the more doubtful posts seem to indicate that without solid proof at this point in time, that investing in SLI is not the greatest idea and is most likely set to fail. its a high risk investment. management are there to manage and run the company the best they see fit. We are not here to micro manage every detail. If you invest in SLI you invest in the management team we voted in and decided to trust with our money. Nothing has changed other than further progress and 1% of drill cores which is by no means enough to make a decision to buy or sell imo. Lori has been tight lipped since ive been invested. Just because the sp is lower now does not mean her methods will change to satisfy shareholders especially if it could have a detrimental effect on her planned end result. All it means is that those who are insecure with there investments will look to point the finger. Human nature plain and simple.
