Ann: September 2016 Quarterly Report-BDR.AX, page-193

Oh sorry. Didn't know you did it for fun. I do it to learn, find information and gauge market sentiment on the part of other retail investors and I always try and call a spade a spade, whether I own a stock or not. When I see a story that has holes in it or is obviously being embellished for a reason I let people know my opinion. It's up to the reader to take what they want from everyone's opinions and all sources (there is also an ignore button). Listening to my warning on DRM and some of the information I provided might have helped a few in the short term (fluke maybe) or maybe I could see through the mothering statements which seemed to lack vital content.

The problem is that if BDR do actually have significant exploration success and manage to find viable new deposits of shallow higher grade feed for their mine or higher grade extensions to their existing pits that lift their grade. reduce their AISC, and make money for them then I'll be proven wrong but it doesn't make my argument about "exploration story" verses "mining story" any less valid. If there was a hundred dollar note sitting in the middle of the freeway and I warned you not to go out and pick it up, would my warning carry any less merit if you ran out picked it up and didn't get hit by a speeding car. Rhetorical question, don't bother answering.

Anyone can be proven wrong by successful exploration and the lone dissenting voice will be drowned out by the delirium of success. Everyone is a genius when a new and important discovery is made and a plan comes together. For me trying to see holes in a plan before they hurt me is more important than being a genius and sometimes seeing involves using your nose. Esh
