Nick, A great piece of homework however we don't know by reading the release what led to the government pulling the property from AMF. I do think it is worth asking Rick and I will tommorrow if I can reach him. You do know that Barrick is right east of STS concessions and Banro is to the south and both doing quite well so this could just be an isolated case. Noone ever said that the Congo was country without risk but it is more stable and much easier to work in than Angola was. I will follow up on this as I gather more info. Chad Beemer

Hi Nick, As a fellow shareholder I share your frustration, however I contacted our FO this morning and they are basically pleased with things in DRC at present ,there was in fact a cabinet reshuffle there(bloodless) within the last few days and as far as our FO is concerned it was for the better ,the country is quiet and the FO has received a good number of enquiries from UK mining companies in the last few days wanting in or back to DRC, we do not know the background to AMZ's dispute and it may or may not be one sided , heres hoping we can finally get this show on the road Regards John
