knight, Nice to see you again. I agree that devil's advocates are needed on this and any thread. If you go back and check my posting at the time Message 3130918 yo will see I questioned the methodology of that post. I don't know if that kind of speculation does any harm however as it is not from the company but from an enthusiastic shareholder. My own belief is that there is significant metal at Franklin Lake and that if it is there in the amounts I suspect it will have one of the following impacts (or a combination). Either the producable amount will be so large it will significantly reduce metals prices and hence profitability. Or the the annual production will be kept low to maintain metals prices with the result that this mine would have an extraordinarily long life. One impact of a long life for the mine will be on valuations. Since long estimated lifes result in the out years being heavily discounted a large portion of the reserves will not be highly valued. Based on the 3 oz opt, assuming it holds up, I would be wildly enthused to see an eventual price of several hundred dollars a share. I know it sounds odd to posit a 50x increase as the more conservative valuation but that is what I believe the potential is based on the gold numbers we have seen, not thousands og dollars. If there is significant platinum and other metals it could move the number higher. Obviously given those kind of numbers the risks on the downside must be pretty high as well. These are just my musings and yes we have a long way to go. As far as HL, that was just my evil side coming out. When I heard he was reading the thread I couldn't resist posting something for him. It is sunday morning and I'll ask for forgiveness and strength in overcoming temptation. Henry

Knight, << It's the absence of folks like HL that allow $4ooo/share figures to be postulated without being taken to task>> Why must someone be taken to task? I don't think postulating about those figures is an evil sin. Clearly, Tom was talking about future possibilities, He was not advocating that Naxos is close to being worth $4,000 a share right now or in the near future. His contention, was that if things go exremely well, we could be in for a windfall.I truly believe that to be true. I have no idea as to what dollar value that may end up relating to, but I'm confident that If things do go well, we will see a somewhat meteoric rise in share price. I do agree with you in that it has to be taken one step at a time, and that we are a long way from "the glory days". However, a little diversionary forward thinking during slow times is not necessarily a bad or evil thing. JMO Mark
