Ann: Response to ASX Aware Query, page-13

I’m guessing it’s only ASX announcements that are valid here and not throw away lines at presentations. There’s thousands of companies and the cream would surely work at the big ones, they’d get respect....

Included in Barry’s opening remarks at Noosa “So here we are, the wild men from the west”...and potential financiers probably treat those representing Cyprium in the negotiations as just that.

It looks like their experiences in Indonesia gave them world class mining skills but left them well short of the mark in managing a company. All small companies would be up against that, they don’t have the experience, contacts or clout! If they did they’d be head hunted.

I don’t doubt that they’re doing their very best and even though enthusiasm has got the better of Barry when discussing timeframes I believe he’s genuine...Nanadie ann today didn’t live up to the hype but maybe it’s early days.

I think they’re in strife.
