Hi White Finder,

What you say about mining companies is quite correct. My family have been associated with this company since it listed in September 1969 as Laverton Nickel, like all mining companies of the time it was swept along with mining fever and in fact it listed at $3.00 with the Options selling for $2.80.

We used to get Christmas Cards each year from the founder Mr Jim Lynch such was the relationship,However since Mr Lynchs passing it has not fared too well and I feel that Management has been responsible for its demise from profitability and favour. Mark maybe a very nice guy but I think he lacks the experience and savvy ways of his Dad.

Please don't say I should do some research on the mining industry as my family and I have held shares in over a hundred mining companies, and thank goodness most have been good to us.

Lets hope that CTO is about to turn the corner , but I have my doubts,
