Indeed Buckbrush,

I know many shareholders and others do not believe some of the dots we are presenting on this board at present, and most probably don't take the time to read the long posts/links of information. It is partially because of this, that some shareholders may not yet be able to fully appreciate the dynamics of what is happening with SLI and would sooner identify with a preconceived notion, that conspiracies are only theories. This is quite understandable whereas most shareholders DO NOT have the time to investigate and research the validity of questionable things. Because they do not have the time, this excludes them from the facts and dots required to realize that a full fledge conspiracy is in the works here. Also, some may refuse to accept that a conspiracy is ongoing here, on the basis that they believe the governments and such, are really on their side. But I ask, "does it really look like any of your government reps and agencies are on your side, when they DO NOT enforce simple laws such as the 43-101 requirement to release azimuth and dip of the Tesoro drill program?"

ED44, by no means am I degrading you for your latest post which may be interpreted as a revolt by you to not accept the things Pax and I are presently posting, but I do see your post as a display of where you presently are in your belief. You have said in the past that you have shared this stock with perhaps hundreds of prospective investors, that did invest. That is definitely a lot of investors that chose to invest upon your suggestion. I will say though, one observation that I have made while conversing with groups of SLI investors and even individual investors, is that MOST groups appear to have had consultations with geologists to lend an opinion of the Tesoro UPON investing and shortly after. For the HIGH numbers in YOUR group and considering the law of averages, I suspect that at least one in your group has consulted a geologist in the past on the potential of the Tesoro and perhaps the potential of the other "world class potential" properties that SLI held/hold in the company's portfolio. Having said this, because of any geological opinion that may have been conveyed to YOUR group, I suspect that many in your group BELIEVE this is a huge mineral find and that something else is going on here, which is UNBELIEVABLE. It is when we enter this "UNBELIEVABLE" mode, that the facts and answers can ONLY be derived from other sources to explain the "why,s" and "how,s". Pax, I and others, are presenting "dots"/ "pieces" of the puzzle at this time. As with doing a puzzle, you don't get the full picture until most of the pieces are put together. And also, to enable One to complete a puzzle, it is required to find and have the pieces readily available to fit togeher, BEFOREHAND.

So please, bear with us, even though a lot of what we are posting may not make sense at this time, I ASSURE you, it will make more sense as time goes on. It is so good to see that you are still here and following, that is important to us all and shows you haven't given up, like THEY wish for all to do.

Thank You

Rick Jewers
