Mr. Pearson:

How do you know that the terms will be renegotiated with J/L? Is that an educated guess, supposition or information from IR? How do you know about a "coup" at Naxos? What happened?

IMO if the company paid $250,000.00 to lock up the rights to a process which is not patentable without having done basic due diligence as Kurt believes, it is probably still worth that price to have learned what the company has learned about the way to treat the ore for maximizing assay (and hopefully recovery) results (although I agree with Kurt as to the way this speaks to management capability). I also don't see how J/L could sue Naxos for using the "J/L technology" unless they do have a patent. I'm not surprised there is disagreement over whether the process is patentable, after all that's what you pay a lawyer for (to advance your position). I'm not a patent lawyer but if J/L is not able to get a patent, a lawsuit is unlikely to ever become an issue.

Finally, I join the chorus of praise for the last release which was well written and informative. However, I note that it does not actually address specifically where we stand with the J/L option, whether it has been extended or allowed to expire. Certainly it appears Dr. Johnson is still willing to work with Naxos under either possible scenario and I think that is a "plus" for Naxos. JMHO --JLA
