On the bright side they do state that negotiations on the offtake and logistics agreements in the near term.

The reshuffle and resignations on the board flies in the face a little of the comment made the other day that "institutions are satisfied with the way management are performing".

I don't believe these changes would be taking place without a bit of prompting from outside sources and to my way of thinking this could be a good wake up call for those remaining to extract the digit. Possibly things might start to happen a little quicker now. I think it's a positive.

One comment that does vex me a little is the "step forward for the company as it moves towards it's target of having the mine in production in late 2008"............I thought there was roughly 12 months of decline development, not 18? Or are we to assume the decline development wont be starting till late 2007?

I think the market will see this announcement as a positive.
