media perspective on avb, page-6

Great post. This goes to the very heart of the problem and confirms what I long have believed is the real issue with this company. The guys are very good at the technical side, negotiating skills are great and getting value for money from the drilling programs are second to none.

It doesn't matter if you have the best in the world at all these things it all amounts to nothing if you don't get the word out there. From my perspective , the more information you have the better the chances there are in attracting more investors prepared to invest on an informed basis for the long term as opposed to day trading on speculation.

When the company got these properties they came with many millions of dollars in exploration work. This is just an extract of the work that was undertaken back in 2006.

When the company announced to the market they had secured these areas you were flat out getting a plan that showed 2 locations and 2 drill results. The more I started to research the properties the more I started to learn about the great potential that lay ahead for this company. I have shared the majority of that information on this forum hopeing that others would also see that potential.

Thanks to SimonH for pushing the company to start to publish some of that data. What lays ahead of us now is a very exciting 12 months. I hope that someone from the company reads these threads because they need to ensure that they manage the resultant news flows and key milestones to the maximum advantage.

The company needs to engage a professional PR company to deliver a constant stream of media releases, roadshows, interviews,institutional presentations and broker research. There should now be no excuse for a fortnight to go by without some form of announcement, update or presentation happening and it must be on a controlled and planned basis.

Too often in the past we have seen the share price rise only to fall back on many weeks of no news. To have journalists say they have never heard of the company is very disappointing. There have been some very informed posters on here that have valued the company on many multiples of its current price. A bit of money spent on Marketing will, in my opinion, be repaid many times over.

We know when the quarterlies,half yearlies, AGM, major conferences and to some extent, the drilling results should be due so lets fill in the blanks and make sure there is a constant presence of AVB in the market. I don't want to find in a years time we still have journalists that have never heard of AVB because from what I have read of those western properties there are many more PB's yet to be discovered.

No matter what, I will be at the next AGM and I better be driving an Audi R8 otherwise there will be some tough questions being asked.
