Ann: Large Porphyry Copper and Epithermal Gold at Kadungle NSW, page-37

Hi Speckman,

I note your frustration. However I am always reminded that it was 25 years of hard work before Santos paid a dividend. Thus, sadly it is always going to be a long time for any explorer to become a mining company. I actually get more excited by some of the IT hopefuls. But again, it is a bit like watching paint peel. Also the other frustration is how the market treats good news. The news is never good enough for some so they sell and the price goes down!! But, being the "half Full" bloke I am, I am still here and enjoying it all. JMT
