Stanley, of course the posts are welcomed and appreciated but not being mining skilled or in any sense of the word a trader, they don't tend to add anything to my perspective on this stock. Some have owned this stock for a very long time and I am sure have seen numerous PRs that production is around the next corner. Hasn't happened. I have read enough from the disaffected, disappointed and Experts to believe that only about 5 in 20 really know whats going on on any given thread. I did my DD, visited the site and assessed the operations from my limited perspective. I believed the PGMs are there, someone is going to be the first to produce them and felt with DJ's style and the time already spent in trials it would take about 3 years to start profitably producing, hence financing for a BIG operation. In three years or 10$ a share, I'll take a serious look at my position. Til then, commentary, explanations, gripes and tips are appreciated. Regards, Ron

Stan, I would like to respond to your reaction. Number one, "It's the PLAYOFFS". Number two, We're on the wrong thread. I mentioned to Dick a few weeks ago, that "We are hanging around with the wrong people, we need to be hangin around the "Fuel Cell/Electric/Hybrid-vehicle people", instead of those traditional miners with their heads in the sand". We need to get over on a tech thread!!!!!! They're (FC/E/H-vp) now coming out of the R&D just as GPGI is and, with a 200,000 oz pl shortfall every year without regional problems in S/A or the Norslik, those folks don't have a chance without this new technology. The new HV Toyota Prius now selling in Japan for about $19,000 requires 40 grams of platinum combines a gasoline engine and electric motors to maximize energy and sharply reduce emissions and double the fuel economy, would sell here fast today if the platinum was available. Electric & Hybrid/Electric vehicles are here today folks and don't be surprised if President Clinton commits to IT, if he's not to caught up in other problems (his and the worlds). Number three, As Zeev will tell you, the market she is fickle, and in my opinion the reporting of revenues from the sale of PGM's is great. But, lets take Naxos. For the very first time in Micro-cluster history we have a proven COC resource calculation, and there was no real move in the stock. That happened in my opinion due to the wording of the press release and the fact that until it is proven (revenues-As in quarterly/year-end profit or loss) that Micro-clusters can be turned into saleable PGM's, then I'm not sure what will happen to the price of the stock short term. But lets see "On or about" the sixth of January 1998. Number four, most of the people following this stock have their position and understand the significance of recieving checks, and so how much more can we buy. Now on the other hand if GPGI becomes fully reporting, then I consider this significant and would expect all the fence sitters to get their position and fast. Number five, this is a vision stock and when one part of the vision is accomplished, your faced with another. SI is predominately made up of followers and rookies with today expectations and won't buy a stock until they have the opportunity to pay $5 & $10 dollars or more. It's just how that works. I could post Michaels wisdon until the cows come home, but I'm afraid it will fall on deaf ears until the stock is much higher. Jim
