<Shawn Kennedy will make XCL work>

The whole Nevada exploration scene has completely collapsed (and the production will too, in a matter of a few years), well illustrated by the PDG's Getchell towel throw. Another classic PDG buy signal? NOBODY is paying any attention to Nevada, but the names I'm going to mention ought to be some of the first to pop up on the radar screen at $325 POG. And other than you, I haven't heard a SINGLE poster on any of my primary threads even say a word about them.

GBG is selling for next to squat despite already having a million high grade ounces (probably too beat up to carry on) right next to increasingly underutilized and hard pressed mills all up and down the Carlin Trend. XCL is going to have to recapitalize/ dilute and quickly at a dime. If Kennedy is willing to bite the bullet and raise enough capital to get all of Sleeper and do a little work, I've told him I'd participate. How about Coral? PDG is drilling away, and we have a market cap there of less than US$3 million. Another tax loss candidate to try and stinky bid? Then there's Nevada Pacific, another Rodney Dangerfield stock if I've ever seen one. EV less than US$ 2 million, with JV NEM about to announce results any day from an extensive phase III drilling program at Limousine Butte. One thing in common about all these projects is that if gold is there, it could be utilized as feeder to existing plants, with corresponding saving in capex.

BTW, the Loonie is at 62 cents. I'm going to refinance my house off of the latest interest rate manipulation, real estate bubble, and "anti-free trade" policy here, and buy your whole friggin country. <VBG>

Wood heat ?

Marcos thanks for the blurb “the wires are hanging out of the wall but the base board heaters are not hooked up “ Boy can I relate.

I have been in my house for 12 years and the hand rails are not hooked up. I have to get it done one of these days.... my wife wants the occupancy permit done with and then there is the base boards and a few more cupboards to go in.

as to wood heat . I have done somethings right.
(1) got a masonary flue with a clay liner. Once that puppy gets warm the residual heat will keep the house warm for about ten hours. Of course to work right I placed it in the house in a central location and not on the outside where it works more like a heat sink and pulls the heat out of the house.

(2) The flue drafts well. Smoke in the house is dumb.

(3) upstairs the flue runs through the master bedroom. ( us old farts gotta keep warm.) This works well enough that i managed to get the same thing done in two housesthat I was consulting on.

(4) No stainless steel flues for me. they heat poorly, do not handle chimney fires well and I have seen charred wood inside the enclosures from the things getting too hot.

But I have yet to get a year ahead on the wood thing. Most of the time I get half the wood cut in June and then stack wet wood infront of the dry sometime in Oct. My cure is to get the fire so darn hot it will burn anything.

got a rag on Teckcominco coming

take care
