VAUGHN, I was having coffee with a geo this morning who was quite skeptical of the whole Darnley Bay project. Please don't take these thoughts as anything but coffee shop talk and possible areas for further investigation. On my question of soil sampling in winter he said not a problem as up on that tundra they probably aren't digging with pick and shovel. They probably would be using a small auger drill to obtain samples. However, surface sampling in his opinion is of very limited benefit because it is a very deep anomaly they are probing. And the depth itself should be a huge obstacle when considering the economics of exploration and or development. He also suggested the infrastructure is very limited regardless what anyone says. It is a remote region and access is by air. He also brought up issues that could be major obstacles such as agreements with First Nations and sensitive environmental questions. And last, he suggested it would be fruitful to look further into the backgrounds of the principals involved. No, I haven't a clue what he was refering to and he would not elaborate.

To all: please question and refute any point. I only pass these questions along in an effort to better understand what we are working with. I am not negative on this stock.
