Golden Hope Mines

Thank you as always for your kind words SN. I spent quite a bit of time with Frank Candido on the phone this morning discussing this very question. Frank has been the one negotiating with these engineering firms and he feels that they will be able to come up with some very creative solutions to the Bellechasse grade/tonnage calculation. I hold Mr. Tilsley in very high regard, but I would not want the company to put his idea forward if there was a better way to solve this issue. If I might, I would suggest we listen to all the recommendations of the third party firm that we hire to evaluate this problem before we form an opinion one way or the other.

Best,

Scott
