Ann: Trading Halt, page-106

John, what makes you think that you "have lost your money on VRC" ? Do you know something we don't? Sure, we're probably all a little bit on edge as a result that we haven't had a funding update given that the Mauritian Note Offer closed 3 weeks ago but in reality VRC is still in its infancy, certainly not at death's door! We still have the biggest graphite resource in Africa, we've only just started to drill for gold in a resource rich area plus VRC in my opinion have been very good thus far in managing cash. For those who still seem to think management are getting the big bucks, take the time to look at the Annual Report plus quarterlies. Call me the eternal optimist but at this point I'm taking the lack of an update as positive. My gut feeling is that there are positive things happening behind closed doors which we can't be privy to just yet so no sense putting out a statement just for the sake of it. I'm happy to be proven wrong but if I had the money, I'd be buying more, not selling but hey, each to their own.
