I believe this information is very important and may be a possible explanation as to why our Government and the TSX has run from us with their tails between their legs, or being obnoxious, and ignoring the blatant injustices and undemocratic instances we as shareholders are currently forced to endure. Crimes against human rights and even humanity are laying right out in the open, one could say brazenly out in the open.

I find it interesting again, that "Barrick" shows up in this story and how familiar the "Barrick" tactics are with our own, and what several other company,s over the years have sustained because of possible input by Barrick. I will also extend, that some of the intimidation techniques used so far against several investors of SLI, do bear a similar resemblence to suspected techniques used on other individuals and companies by Barrick. I imprint here in this Barrick portion of the post, that Barrick has been weakened considerably over the course of the last two years and that their strong hold tactics do not any longer work, when the ones they are trying to suppress, cannot be intimidated by such tactics. Barrick continues to be weakened.

The control of the worlds "gold" supply is very important, and the more control and limitation of gold that the big corrupt have, the easier it is to manipulate the price of gold and keep a tight rein on who has access to it. It is like, stamping out the competition and controlling the whole market. When you look at Bre-x for a minute, that imo, is/was not a scam, it was perpetrated to look that way, so a huge gold find would not interfer with the market and the control of the market. The natives still today are bringing huge nuggets out of the Busang area of Indonesia. If you can compare to what the Tesoro may contain in gold, perhaps it is easy to see why it would not be allowed to be revealed, only to help the rich and powerful, and to be taken out of the eyes of the public, keeping them oblivious to yet another huge deposit. This would make utmost sense if you perspect from a position that if all the little stock holders of numerous small companies that have huge finds, became millionaires, after awhile, the ones that control and have the market controlled, go by the wayside and their great fortunes and future fortunes, are jeopardized. Their mentality is not to share, but to control, by conquest then constant suppression. This involves theft that is covered up to look like something else, but people are seeing right through this sharade, and it will not and cannot exist in the future. Their is too much information out their that clearly reveals and depicts this very practise.

Lori never lied about the Tesoro or any of our properties for that matter, they are huge, and every bit of science used today to prove this, says so. The reality of our situation is, we are sitting on one of the biggest gold finds in history, and someone is trying to steal it, but it won,t work. Hold onto your shares and stand your ground, the truth will be revealed and we will share in this truth. The sooner that Lori comes to the realization that she is not alone and can speak her truth, the quicker this gets over. The quicker Lori understands that by having fear only empowers her advesaries and enables them to have control over her, the quicker she will realize that she can protect herself and protect the group of shareholders, through unity.

I see good in Lori, and I patiently anticipate the day of her realization of that burried strength she has, that is based on virtue. Lori doesn,t really know who she is, yet, and until she discovers this and believes in it, things may be complicated. Everything happens for a reason, Lori, and I believe you know exactly why all this happening. :)

thank you
