A geologist friend of mine reviewed the SLI situation and made these recommendations:

Stop looking to hit a home run by trying to drill into the anomalies. Drill into the known veins and show fabulous results now. Follow the veins down and keep reporting heavy concentrations. That should give the company a huge boost in capital (share price) and allow the finding of the mother load down the road (my embellishment of his comments). Sorry, he prefers to remain anonymous.

If this geologist is right it could change the market's opinion of what we have very quickly and help prevent the bashers from killing our share price and change the perception of what we have in Tesoro!

Sorry, but I think the reason our share price is in the tank is because of our attempt to hit a home run and we only came up with a walk.

Some great results and our share price will head higher immediately IMO.

Finally a ray of hope if he's correct. Lori, Please get us on base and win the game in the end. JW
