why give away 10,000,000 options?, page-21

Thanks pj and Ultra,

Ultra, agree that these things do seem to go through, but they will already be aware of the feelings of a number of those with a position in the company (well aware of HC).

pj, I support the frugality of management in general operations (they don't pay rent on a permanent office for example), but they need to know are watching how our investments are being handled. It's a good point you make about 13.5% being excessive and it would be positive for management to clarify this.

I think that some judicious criticism from shareholders regarding matters of value to the company may actually strengthen managements hand when negotiating with third parties. In any case, it's healthy for us all to be watching out for value and keeping all parties on their toes.

Credit where it is due, and this airborne magnetic data is awesome news: bodes well for my "shack on the beach" fund.

Cheers,

John S.
