Sorry Procrastinato, didn't see your post (even the dog has stopped watching)! But yes, we are more optimistic for 3 reasons:

a) think the regs were/are finally going to act if SHs kept getting so blatantly shafted ('you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all the people all the time'.......?)

b) Fred certainly has solid, well regarded experience and he does seem to be trying (which is such a welcome change from the past (e.g. when SHs found out that the previous CEO was going around trying to start another coal business whilst being employed full-time by AML and then, when asked about it at the AGM, the Chairman (who is still Chairman), said he had no problem with it....)!

c) Most importantly, we don't think there is too much doubt that Walford Creek is a very promising resource and Amy West, in particular, might just be of real significance. That recent assay of hole 548 of 98m @ 2.5% is very tasty in between those 2 other excellent holes drilled in 2018 which are 1.2km apart: i.e. hole 378 (46m at 2.9% further West) and hole 352 (42m at 2.5%Cu and .29%Co) 1200m further East of 378.

Also very interesting in the most recent hole 548 is the assay of 43m of 1.57% (pure) Cu beneath the 48m of 1.78% Cu, 0.33% Co and 41g/t Ag above it! This pure Copper seems to be a totally different deposit from the Cu/Co/Ag on top of it belonging to a different geological event/era and leads us to wonder where it came from/what is it linked to?...

Whilst, as so many have posted in the past, that this resource was largely being butchered by a combination of incompetence and/or malfeasance; now hopefully, we're not wrong in our assessment of Fred as being in a totally different class (in both ability and integrity) and hence the renewed sense of optimism.
