Cau I don't know well enough and ngx I always thought were mining pretty low grade which I am not a fan of, but recent mine numbers from NGX were much more robust than I expected. Still a big leverage on metal prices. I like deposit finders more than miners and on whipsaws in the POG will not be hurt as much. I know you are trying to get away from pure drill plays and I understand that. As much as possible I am going for expanding resource drill plays. In other words, those plays that have enough drill results to indicate big potential that is not recognized in the share price. That to me would be CKG,SOH,GUY,LRR,GOZ,NAU, and now patiently looking for a re-entry on GYD. I bought more SOH again yesterday. They have drilled some very rich polymetallic ore in Mexico. They have recently done enough work to reasonably demonstrate the system extends over several Kms. They are also looking to widen their intercepts and demonstrate greater bulk tonnage. We are waiting on at least one critical hole (33) that was designed to pursue the bigger intercept. I am of the opinion that this ore is easily recognized in the core. Recent action in the stock tells me they have seen what they wanted and are only awaiting the assays to guarantee it. Insiders have been selling stock and exercising options to create liquidity while buying their own latest financing. I am in deep but it is not just a drill play, I know they have rich ore, I believe they have a lot more and have purchased accordingly. First bought at .36 then at .57 and yesterday at .55. Have a great weekend , next week will be very interesting. Cheers, Ogi
