It's quite something that CSL has been able to raise cash at US$0.25 per share after all these years in the doldrums. Also it's good to see a clear statement that the first phase of the FS is going to proceed. Very encouraging... Howy =================== Cadre Resources Ltd. P.O. Box 2297 Vancouver, B.C.
