Your support for MAT is very noble ZZ but at the end of the day what they are promising is just more of the same. Scratching mediocre dirt to pay the bills and keep the SOI at a reasonable level. It is rather unusual for a small explorer/miner to be so diligent in this area so that makes MAT a standout but one of the reasons to buy into gold explorers is the hope they hit the motherlode and the share price explodes.
I would be more optimistic if the company started chasing some new ground with good potential. While it is a good thing to be conservative and well managed in the gold sector, the real money is in striking it rich. I wish Paul would be a bit more adventurous because if he does find a decent gold deposit there is a good chance the company would be successful in bringing it to mining stage..
