Well, right now I share your position 100%. But I've got enough experience not to trust Mother Nature as she is a capricious little bitch who plays with the minds of the best. You never know what She is going to deal and this is especially true when there is evidence of significant mineralization and this especially especially true if the mineralization is in an area where mines have or do exist.

This is the case with PFN and Harry Barr right now. But you know, the truth is that Mother Nature doesn't even know who Harry Barr or Bill Gates are. She doesn't know who owns this property or any other and She doesn't care. So I think to get overly sold on the negative here is a mistake. You have to take a reasoned approach to this speculation and that has to be based on the facts and evidence supplied by the drill holes.

So far I think the distribution of grade and the apparant lack of contiuity are the issues and they will be the determining factor in this becoming or not becoming a mine. So far the data are telling me it's a no go but it's too early to take a 100% position either long or short in my view.

Why do you think that major companies have the mines in production and they have the reserves? Are they smarter? Are they closer to Mother Nature? No, none of the above. The reason is that they generate drill targets and they have the resources to drill them. They drill a lot of properties which changes the odds. Little companies can't do that and that's the difference. It's the only way to neutralize the bitch because She doesn't care if I'm BHP or XYZ. That's why Amplats did the deal and they control their exposure to the unknown. The mineralization was there in a district that produced mines. Pay attention to this fact.
