CRVV updates from RB:

Just spoke with CRVV President, Bob Ferguson. He is back in the office now. Our man Greg Hawkins and the rest of the Nigerian delegation have continued on to the Toronto leg of the conference.
Bob said the networking opportunities at the conference were many and have already produced tangible results, e.g., a major gold find in Nigeria is now on the CRVV's table -- this is a new development.
Another round of trench results from Ayaco are due out in the next few days, as soon as the lab gets the results back to Bob. (Every time they jab a stick in the ground the anomaly gets bigger and better.) The reverse circular drilling rig is on the property and sites are now being selected. Drilling results will begin to flow shortly, followed by "a slew of news releases."
As has been reported, Newmont was on the site last week, and also Normandy -- their local guys got a call from the head office telling them to get over there and check out Ayaco!
Bob also said that his top priority right now is getting CRVV listed on the Lagos exchange. And the Nigerians are very interested in the stock.

No, actually, what I meant was...
There is another property in Nigeria on which gold has already been found in abundance for which CRVV has favorably begun the initial stages of negotiation -- the anticipated result of these negotiations would be CRVV obtaining the rights to develop said property, much as they are developing the Ayaco property. No deal has been struck, but the internal Nigerian "machinery" has begun to whirr as a result of contacts made at the Canadian conference, and the high regard that the Nigerian officials have for Greg Hawkins and CRVV.
This is just the beginning. CRVV's position in Nigeria is rock solid (aware of the pun, not sure if I want to claim it). Ghanaian officials were also there and indicated that the government would fast-track the Ayaco project.

I just spoke to Mr. Ferguson to verify what surfmandu was saying in post #1073. No offense surfmandu.
Mr. F, confirmed that CRVV was aggressively trying to obtain rights to this new gold find in Nigeria and get on the Lagos exchange.
He also stated that he hoped to put out more Ayaco trench results today but I got the feeling that it will wait until early next week.
