facts, page-4

Been banned from posting on HC in the pressence of the Mrs,(Q2), who says I am obsessed with it, but been chafing at the bit to reply to four aforementioned (pun intended) posters.

Have done my chores including putting our Open House signs and Ahh at last!!!!

Q2 just left in a borrowed car to resume part time work enabling us to hang on longer without cashing MCO funds to live off.

Yes with $1 million invested in MCO, that's the reason why I post so frequently. In my own way I try all I can to keep MCO's share price up, because I believe in it, and so we can hang on longer for the bonanaza grades, and not bomb out. (Record drilling out there folks of unmined zones around WP about a quarter way through.

First let's deal with the ORIFICE point 4.

"I have suggested in the past that Quinty and crew stop annoying the crap out of Nick Garling, Mike Botting etc and let those guys do their best to get the show on the road. There is nothing more annoying than having people with a modicum of (or zero)knowledge chiming in ad nauseum with dumb and stupid queries/comments."

MY REPLY: I have spoken to Nick Garling on the phone once - (met him only twice) - when he called me to see that Boris and I were comfortable with our "digs" on our last visit following NG's unsolicited email invitation to visit the mine.

FACTS to check with Nick (Yes, you may annoy the crap out of him, not me).

Correspondence I have inititated has always been by email, 50/50 solicited by him or I, for a prompt reply either way. If NG did not want to reply he could choose to ignore it, as he has said he does with a lot of others.

I have only once solicited an email reply, and received it once from Mike Botting, and I have NEVER rang him.

Considering what we have at stake, over a time span of about four years, its a bit lacklustre on my part don't you think? And I have convinced other family members in our Super Fund and with their individual portfolios Iof my confidence as well!

I hope the above portrays the sort of confidence I have in MCO delivering. And YES i am not bothering them considering the time frame. I am sure most other people would bother them much, much, much, more!

GONNFISHING: With your posting I agree I will agree with you to "say nothing" except that I am trying in my own feeble way to instill credibility not undermine it, and I believe if I can accurately hint of forthcoming news, it may convice an investor to hold a little longer instead of depressing the share price further with a panic sell.

PLOUGH - Yes you seem to be tilthing the same ground as me. As an MCO investor I could be considered a clod, following the hypothesis (of another clod??) Maurie Gootz.

As far as excuses go, I think he has been mentioned too many times already. Some consider his MCO hypothesis's are of doubtful voracity, others say they would make much more sense if linked to missing MCO historical maps when found.

And yes PLOUGH I like your comment: "I would also think it an investors right to call up and question the Chairman, -as to dumb and stupid queries, sometimes the supposedly dumbest queires end up being the most paradigm shifting for a company - although because I am not qualified to discern the oats from the chaff, none of my queries have been of a technical nature." More good explanatory comments follow...Etc. etc

In closing, and meanwhile back at the ORIFICE,
oops clumsy me, should that read office.....like COLUMBIA says technology has advanced much more rapidly than in your day, - and with all due respect - certainly much, much, more so when your Dad was a much, much, smaller (like you?) investor who would would probably have supplied more pearls of wisdom, and occasionally his deserved criticism on HC too.


Have a good day fellas.
