Kim, Time for you to write the press releases. And a qustion.

The last press release that showed the fantastic chain of custody results was great news delivered in a very confusing manner.

If those results were from a sand and gravel sample that was dug by B/D and tested by Ledoux and showed more than 1 ounce/ton by a conventional process is a huge bonus. Most investors understand the economics of a conventional ore much more than the clay ore and the J/L process.

It's the yield per ton, costs per ton, not the method that is important. If Naxos can show those type of COC numbers by a conventional process ONLY 160 feet below the surface it could be huge.
Combining that with the J/L method ----even better.

In South Africa they burrow through rock 1-3 miles below the surface to mine gold at a fraction of these reported yields.

Question for you Kim,
1.) On this hole that was tested and reported by Ledoux, who picked the drilling site Naxos or B/D?

2.) What is the approx. spacing between the holes drilled by B/D?

3.) In conventional ore bodies it is MY understanding that gold and platinum do not mix as they can in the clay part of the F.L. property.
Would that help explain why platinum in the last report was"not detected" or did they not do the platinum tests?

Thanks

Max Haber

Mr. Brasington;

I know you have had a lot of questions fired at you lately but I'm afraid
I have to add a few more to the interrogatory volley.

What options does the company have with respect to all the data collected
prior to the Behre Dolbear supervised sample collection and establishment
of COC? At best all that information now resides in a kind of credibility
limbo with respect to the public. What level of internal credibiliy and
utility does the company assign to all our previously collected information?
What future uses could exist for the data and would it need to be re-
habilitated in some way? Are there plans to use the prior information in
the future to assist in the determination of of total estimated reserves?

There are a couple of ancillary questions as well if you can get the
authority to address them. Do we have an inventory of previously drilled
and collected samples which could be re-assayed with the johnson assay and
results compared to previous assays? What is the company sentiment toward
abandoning all previous data in favor of a total program of COC sample
collection and assay?

If anyone else would care to address these issues please feel free.

P.S. Welcome Mr. mfgrep. I'm sure all appreciate hearing nice things you said
about our thread and its contributors.
