Longball, IMO the optimism I show is based on the facts as we now know them. Apart from the last so, so report (which most people agree didn't hit the area of the anomaly) most of the other input suggests a huge deposit or deposits. Facts...The previous reports were of ounces in some cases. Facts....The Havilah spinoff will take place about 3 weeks after the meeting.We're there now...Facts... Quantec shows huge deposits. Facts ....Lori said she is zeroing in on the targets...Facts...We are due for some drilling reports. Facts...Stock prices don't just stay down after news they rise and falll. Just because we are down now does not indicate where the stock will go. That will be determined by the perceptions of the market.

Sorry if I offended you but it appears foolish to become bearish now unless we get some lousy results. We're down about 75% now. Do we really have to have people tell us the gold may not be there? That's kind of the opinion I think the market already has and it drove down the share price!

I do agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just hope the reports come out great so that the only question will be ...How much gold is there and how much is the property really worth?

The kangaroo was a blatant attempt to make an optimist statement! How high is our problem. JW
