Hi ya Goldfinger.

I do agree with you regarding persistent bashing but I must admit I got a good laugh at Scoutaz's cynical sarcastic comments. Akin to Jack Lemmon from grumpy old men.

Patience although much needed in this case, runs short with some dependant on their needs. This is the risk of betting the bank in the JV market. Not a prudent thing to do. But circumstances change and what was may no longer be.

On the positive here is the 5 yr spot price on copper. UC's land holdings in the ROF and their comittment to other partnerships should hopefully benefit and bring this to the SP in 2011. Discoveries and expasion of existing finds in the ROF are still in their infancy. Jim has a very agressive drill program and I would suspect for a darn good reason. So likely a greater test in patience for all of us.

Cheers to all.
