Thanks to all who have responded to my post, and for the welcome.

I've never been overly influenced by the comments of posters who have no financial commitment in a company, but at the same time I don't necessarily dismiss their comments, particularly if they are informative and well argued. Whichever side of the fence people are on, I would much rather read civil, friendly posts than those from individuals trying to settle some sort of grudge.

I've been a strong believer in the Victoria Goldfields for many years, but in recent years I've been focussed more on the WA gold scene.

However, for the past few months I've been progressively rebuilding a small position in some of the active Vic companies which seem to be kicking goals, and I do believe that the big gold news is going to come mainly from Victoria for the next few years. They have the rich deposits, the big nuggets, and in many cases much lower costs and difficulties compared to the WA miners, especially those in the more remote areas. I'm also very impressed with the Vic antimony story which is building up into something quite substantial.

Despite the past negatives about NAG, and the fact that I passed it over when I first had a look at it, I believe that it actually has far more positives than negatives now, and I'll probably continue to build a small holding.

I pay my respects to those who have hung on through the bad times. It takes perseverance and courage to hold when there's no good news for a long period. I hope that your reward will soon become apparent.

Cheers,

Mike
