David and his team are working Extremely HARD, to bring these results to market as fast as humanly possible!

Hi Silvermarc,

You are in regular contact with the MD; what is it about the results that makes it so hard to get them released, i.e. the extremely HARD work that you allude to. Are they in a stand-off with the assay lab, and complex negotiations are on-going(?) Hope you have some insight into where the difficulty is that is causing such a protracted delay.

Would you expect ARD to use this same lab for future drilling campaigns, given the saga of the 12 holes has consumed a large part of this current year. I take it ARD are serious about the scope of the drilling campaign they plan to undertake: surely we cannot have a repeat of this 'debacle' going forward if they wish to maintain confidence and credibility.
