Ann: Hickory-1 Surface Hole Completed, page-13

Finally the news we have all been waiting for. Longer than I expected, this is interesting given the size of this rig etc and given past history of always completing well before time. Maybe they did have some set up issues which delayed this. None of us will know. But who cares, they got it done. Well done 88. Onwards now for the money news.

So cudos to you Bill. Obviously Bill was more relaxed and right this time. I guess you do know more than us. No issue from me saying I was wrong this time. Hope this is now all about the drilling and no more BS between us as two, my focus is on this drill now. All the best to all.

I was really happy to read finally that the company openly said “ subsequent updates prior to TD”. Let’s just hope news is good as it should be and we reach TD.

These regular updates is most welcome and essential for every holder going forward, thanks to 88 as this looks after the investors and helps us all make correct decisions along the way either to hold or exit. This was a big concern, was going to be limited updates going off last well and new MD style. As we were all spoilt for news by previous MD. Cudos to 88 for relaxing my concern.

Well I was open about these 2 concerns and my concerns now put to bed and happy we move forward and I got it wrong. Moving on and looking forward from 88 updating the critical SMD’s. No more chat from me apart from drilling GLTA. Hopefully peace restored.
