It should bounce Michael if you are even sell half keep half. The you still have a shot and there are a lot of other targets out there. I own about 10-11 different ones right now. Tom

"I should have just gone to Vegas!" No, I humbly submit that you should have approached it like a professional and NOT like a gambler and spread your risk by purchasing a selection of juniors and mid-tiers across a spectrum of precious and base metals. But that's just my opinion.

It takes a man to admit it when he's wrong-The major error is rooted in two things a) putting all ones eggs in one basket b) believing that anything is ever a sure thing IMO Not meant to be a lecture I've made enough major errors in my life to fill a several volume book

No way. This is a way more fun than Vegas, and figuring out how the dice are loaded is lot more challenging. Any fool can lose money at the roulette table. It takes a real tough guy to lose his retirement money on a Vancouver mining stock. If god had not invented beer, you would have a heck of hard time finding a way to forget the feelings you get when your fave play comes back as a square mile that should be left as a home to moose and bear. One thing I will guarantee you is that I don't know if there is ore at a depth of 5,000 feet in Wildcat's properties. But I would be willing to bet every dollar I own that there may be. I have 15 mines leading me. I may be a blatherskate, but underlying the talk are properties that overshadow my poor power to relate them. It will take years of work to prove it to all the doubtful folk out there. EC<:-}

For what it's worth I haven't sold yet. I'm up about 20 cents/sh on a small position. The results are marginal as metal appears to average close to US$22 rock. It now has to be a lot bigger, not necessarily wider but more strike length for an open pit to be viable. The most important thing right now is to get a clear idea of the silver metallurgy. If the silver recoveries are 60% or so, which is not uncommon, then the grade is not going to work. It is now time to ask the tough questions and put the hyperbole in the closet.
