Ann: Corporate Update, page-30

LG,

I hear your truth and thanks for the civil reply.

I'm just making the point that there are a lot of guys here that are bitter and twisted and only see the negative in any of managements' actions.

As well as that, while they're hoping the SP heads north, they're bagging is actually contributing the opposite.

That from the perspective of asking the question of shareholders having no confidence in management prompts the question as to why anyone should invest ?.

There is an alternate view to most of your points as regards managements' actions while trying to get the mine opened up again and i countered with my own view on 3 of the most recent which have attracted a torrade of negative comments.

And yes, I'm a relative blow-in, buying after the licences were renewed. Since then I see management doing a pretty good job with the cards they have and being in thailand is certainly a risk and you need to tread carefully and Jamie and Ross have seemingly done that.

and yes, being a CEO or Chair is generally a licence to print money and we just have to live with that. Wish that it were not so, but it is.

Good Luck!

Wazz
