The GLI update today, Item 5, states Director nominee Kennedy was the driving force behind McRaes gold mine in NZ, 'still the only operating gold mine in that country' ?? I am sure Newmont, I think the largest gold mining company/producer in the world, with their Waihi gold mine, would be interested in that claim.

Without researching the facts, I understand Waihi maybe about twice the size of McRaes, and it cetrainly is still operating? And I am hugely surprised if Kennedy, with his claimed experience, would not be aware of Newmont and Waihi, and why he would allow this claim to be made and be associated with it. If this is totally inaccurate, what does that say about the other GLI claims and integrity?
I stand to be corrected on this view, but ???
Not happy with WMT/IDG of late, but not convinced about merit of GLI proposal.
