Newcastle Gold Ltd.

I found the ISS website (I think) and through their "contact us" emailed them a couple of questions about the news release. Specifically, I asked them for a copy of their published report that the quote was from, and then asked how they found no governance issues with a combined company that was going to be run from the British Virgin Islands with a single shareholder having >50% of the shares. I asked them for a prompt reply. I am not holding my breath, but will let you know what I hear.

More than anything, I am intrigued also about the disclaimer on the new release that approval from ISS was not sought or given. I am wondering if ISS even currently knows about the release, and if not, I am hoping my email starts some questions from their end.
