Len and All: I have been doing some very prudent research since the beautiful days of Arequipa Resources. And after many months, I think we have the makings of a company who will, in my judgement, ignite the gold stocks; inparticularly the junior exploration companies and indirectly the medium to senior companies. This company appears to be in the reverse situation of most companies in its field: they are relatively unknown, are still not listed on the TSE, haven't had any major analysts following them and at $7.00 +, they seem to be critically undervalued! BUT, they have the goods now! I bought AQP at $7.60 and sold out 1 1/2 yrs later at $30.00, only because Barrick bought it out after only the first initial holes were revealed and prevented the stock price from getting much higher. Banro is in the process of verifying what already has been revealed as one of the largest high quality gold resource deposits in Africa. With a listing on one of the major exchanges now just a matter of time, the undervalued stock will certainly be recognized and given the bottom of the gold market and the general lack of serious investor attention currently, the stock is probably going to reach much higher levels in the coming months. However, should the gold price move up higher, Banro's value will certainly stick out and hungry investors looking for real true undervalued companies, will not need much time to find this one. I also received the new complete write-up & comprehensive details of the company's history and developing situation and found it to be the most promising junior gold co. of anywhere that I am currently aware. Are there any estimates from anybody out there about when the next group of holes might be released? This looks like the one the market's looking for. Can anybody who is familiar with the results so far, please comment on the value as it relates to the $300.00 price of gold and what it might be if the gold price elevates to the $350.00 area? Thanks and appreciate any feedback and/or info. M.C.
