Ann: MINING LEASE APPLICATION OVER GIMLET, page-15

I emailed [email protected] in December and quite quickly got a call back from Bryan Frost. I missed it, had to call him back and we had a good conversation.

Following that as I had his mobile number, I sent him an SMS. He replied to that a couple of days later. Obviously I won't share his mobile number on a public forum.

I was impressed by his willingness to talk. I can tell you that he's optimistic about the deposit, but acknowledges that he's biased. At that stage he said that drilling results had been better than expected. BTW, he won't tell you anything that hasn't been shared with the market.

My take is the directors of these companies, if they are willing to communicate to shareholders, would rather talk. That way they can't be held to anything in writing.

If it helps, I included the size of my combined shareholdings in the email and the entities holding them.

Good luck. I was very happy with the response I received.
