trading halt, page-16

Hello STB Holders and new arrivals

Well finally we are now in a trading halt, NEWS AT LAST!!!

Isn't that what we have all be waiting for? Screaming for, some even phoning or emailing STB to find out what is going on?

What have I read this morning?

Sovereign Risk
Dropping Share Price
Ethiopia threatens to oust Eritrea govt
And a few other negative comments.

Congrates on Spidermc for letting us know one very positive bit of news - and welcome back from the wastelands of HC :o)

"Couldn't say too much but apparently plenty of interest from OS trip quote "everyone wants to talk to us about the project"."

Well that sounds exceptionally positive in my humble opinion Spider, and thanks for sharing that bit of news?.

Spider re: (lorry was pretty tight lipped). That is how he always is? But the positive I take from your first comment is that "PLENTY OF INTEREST FROM OS TRIP. EVERYONE WANTS TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE PROJECT?"

I will personally be waiting for news, which follows about

1. Drilling holes
2. Assay results
3. What talks he was in whilst o/s and with whom. As shareholders we have a right to that information.
4. Is new drilling rig in operation and when do we expect results from it, eg: core samples. Assay results will take another 3 months once done, but preliminary results should be interesting, especially the deep drill holes results.
5. Also will be waiting for news from the North West Corner to see what has or has not been found in that area.
6. Status of Dr Gilchrist work on the Scoping Study
7. Would be good for shareholders to have a bit of background information on the geology/terrain of the area on their website so we have a better understanding of the on ground situation and obstacles which maybe incurred, if any including the condition of roads to and from mine to nearest port etc. Some of us are actually interested in such matters. So an aerial photo or two would not go a stray.
8. Number of people now working on site and in what capacity they are working. EG: Mine Manager, Drilling Supervisor, Rig workers, Onsite Geologist/s. Is their a lab that they are using for preliminary results or is that being done in Asmara?

This type of information will give us investors an overall idea as to how they are approaching the project, who is doing what, when, where, and the level of professional expertise.

This will then keep the DOOMSAYERS who seem to have taken over the conversation on STB on HC of late.

So Spidermc, on behalf of my husband and I thanks for letting us know some positive news and we will be waiting with great interest as to the outcome.

It is nice to see you back also sam from the wastelands.

Hello EL :o)

Happy trading to one and all.
