I guess it is one thing to hold your existing shares and another to average down at this point. I am at this crossroads. Something seems awfully fishy for them to have been drilling this property for so long, the deposit being touted by Nesbitt Burns analysts, and all of a sudden this selenium thing becomes a problem. Can there be some kind of manipulation here behind the scenes. I am a former Bre-X shareholder and tend to be paranoid schizophrenic these days. Regarding selenium, is there any economic use for this material that would help cut the extra smelting costs. Is it a marketable commodity ? You heard the old saying that one man's garbage is another man's treasure !

Everybody, it is looking better. This is what was said on the teleconference by Westmin and Boliden. Westmin- Wolverine needs a integrated company that can deal with selenium and Boliden has the circuits.Metal reserves at Wolverine is greater than all of Bolidens mines. Boliden- We produce 20tons of selenium per year and is sold for the use in shampoos for dandruff control. Also, an analyst for a large house says that Cominco,Noranda and Boliden have circuits at their smelters for removing selenium and this could revive the value of the Wolverine deposit.Also, he felt that Boliden knows that wolverine is going to give them considerable profits. Hope this helps
