Gold/Mining/Energy : AVL.V - AVALON VENTURES -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Just a couple of comments: 1. The minister's visit was on Thursday, not Wednesday. That visit was covered by the local newspapers (as indicated in my previous posting). If you would rather hear a career geologist with the OGS comment on the BIG Whopper, attend the PDAC convention - Dr. Fred Breaks will be available to answer questions. 2. In my opinion, 'hype' has nothing to do with AVL's recent increase in price. Its simply increased awareness among investors, brokers, etc. of the value of the BIG WHOPPER. If news coverage is considered hype, than you can probably expect more over the next couple of weeks! DRT

Hi Don, I hope you're right. It would mean that little of the current valuation is associated with Wolf Mountain. So poor results there shouldn't hurt us too much, while even modestly successful results could mean a lot of upside. As far as hype goes, I believe that's an integral part of any junior and if you can get a minister of mines and several publications to do it for nothing then there is probably a lot of substance along with the hype, and as a shareholder I prefer that type of "hype" to any procured by passing out cheap options to professional shills. micap
