Hello Frank

Few SPC projections have materialized as initially outlined due it would appear to combinations of Rand appreciation, US$ depreciation, PGM price stagnation, strikes, RSA politics, mining methods, geological obstacles, etc. etc.

Until management demonstrates several quarters of achieving bottom line results, I can't get excited about share potential.

The market has treated this company like an unwanted relative ever since the DeBeers problems six years ago and I don't see anything in the near future that is going to alter the market's psychology hence support.

Sorry.

SDM on the other hand appears to be in the process of crawling out from under that millstone but I suspect real appreciation will still require good news on 1st world not 3rd world exploration plays, and none has been observed as yet. Having said that, company officials were up here the other day for the NWT Geosciences Forum and I concluded our brief discussion with some optimism for long term prospects.

Good luck.
