Lori has us and shouldn,t have to sell her soul. Management and shareholders together are an immensity in terms of strength. I believe we are strong enough to push anything out of our way, if we all stay together. I could be wrong, but I feel that there are legitimate reasons for Lori,s actions over the last year or so, and still think she may be able to justify them in the end. There is no way that Lori should even think about jeopardizing her shareholder base, this is the ultimate bargaining tool, and she knows it. Whats going on with the sp, does not matter to Lori, as long as the support is not selling and the shareholder strength is maintained. I also don,t believe for one minute that she has to worry about a hostile offer, and thats why she hasn,t been putting out assays promptly with our sp in an area that some companies would call precarious for what we may have. There are so many scenarios that could explain what is happening, but, we may never know the right one until its over.

Even though initial results looked bad to the general public, we have did much here in understanding the possible value of SLI. Lori has said the Vilcoro is a possible world class property. I agree with her, the highest gold sample to come off that property is higher than any off the Tesoro yet. It is also along strike with Barricks Lagunas Norte which has around 10 million ounces to date. We have the same geology and are on the same side of the fault, the side that yeilds the biggest resources so far. So, what I am trying to say, is that the Vilcoro has an excellent chance of taking our sp up as does the Tesoro, if work is done on it enough to prove up a satisfactory amount of gold to be attractive.

I don,t want to get into the value thing at this time, but rather just say, that all these value prospects hasn,t changed and that this companies sp is not, and should not, be dependent on the Tesoro alone. We recently hired more geo,s and a firm that takes care of logistics and drilling, to top it off. They were hired for something and not all for the Tesoro.So the chances of great value being unlocked soon, are great, IMO.
