my first post here, I've been in this company for a while now and experienced the ups and down. I lack experience though.

Can someone tell me

1. Value of Manganese Ore unprocessed at 30% and relative extraction costs provided that if mineralisation is close to the surface?

Completely different

In your knowledge,

2. what is considered a small holding? what is the average holding?

3. For those that have made money in VOR and AVO, wouldn't those gains be enough to see you through many years, considering gains in the multiples? Why would we/you still be posting? Are we all waiting for the golden/silver bullet?

Food for thought, if you can shed light on the above, it would be appreciated not just by me but I guess by others.
