IK hinted at going after an S7 allocation in an announcement not too long ago. I think there is a very strong chance that they will follow through with that application.

I keep saying it but 2013 should be a company making year for Mantle.

Do many other micro cap mining co's employ lobbyists of this quality or at all???

Above all IMO & DYOR
