I've heard a lot of different stories from Jaba.

I held their shares 2 months ago and am still following them,
probably going to buy if they ever show life again.

IR told me possibly 3-4 months ago to hurry and get in 'anywhere
under 2.00 would be great' (US which is 2.80C) and that they had
received a lot of calls from brokerages (such as Charles Schwab)
interested in their stock.

Then it dropped 50%. I did a lot of DD on this one and that's why
I bought it in the first place. In fact, I bought it before IR ever told
me any of that. I bought it as a play on geological expertise and long
term exploration potential. I guess I shouldn't complain...at these levels
I can buy a lot more than I held before.

I am bothered by Jaba because they also said to expect 'a steady stream
of news for the next six months' and then waited 2 months for a
news release.

I heard from IR that the Silver Bell results looked very 'promising' and that
they would end up having to drill deeper than they originally thought.
The impression I got from the last news release was that they would use
the Silver Bell results to further calibrate and/or file their information
but that nothing significant was discovered.

They clearly stated in the last release that drilling may begin at Yardley as
early as June. That is still over a month away. You'd think if they had
already begun drilling they might have let their shareholders know about it.

IR also told me (when I talked to them in March) to expect a release about a joint
venture before the Silver Bell/Yardley release. That STILL hasn't happened
and the other release is out.

So I have no idea what to believe when I hear them say something.

I sold my shares when it was beginning to look like they didn't have adequate
levels of funding and also seemed to be having trouble coming up with a JV partner.
I hope they are drilling at Yardley and I hope they DO have some JV's lined out
already because then they can start to afford some more exploration, etc.

IMO they might be great explorationists but are struggling a bit more on the
business end of the stick. I hope I am wrong because I'd rather make money
than be right.
