Hi Vaughn ..Its good to hear from you ...you've been quiet lately
Yes, I did receive my package and yes I do have some concerns about Glen Harpers' involvement ,however I am not familiar enough with this business to know how these "arrangements" work.

I suspect that many shareholders feel the biggest issue is the extent of the dilution....all else takes a bit of a back seat.

I wonder what NAI would be trading at if not for the Mr. Harper/NAI
connection. I think we both agree NAI will and should trade at a premium to DML and its' unfortunate but the reality is that Glen Harpers' name carries a stigma that will keep a great many shareholders away from what will surely be the hottest play of 1998.

thanks for the info...wayne

edit ..just a little tidbit in the following post
you might find interesting

Post says no gold in Ghana but chief strikes paydirt

Golden Rule Resources Ltd GNU
Shares issued 26,654,081 Feb 19 close $0.97
Fri 20 Feb 98 In the News
Also Hixon Gold Resources Inc (HXG)
The Financial Post reports in its Friday, February 20, edition that
contrary to glowing reports by Golden Rule Resources early last year, there
was no gold in Ghana, nonetheless, president Glen Harper did quite well,
new documents show. The Post's Peter Kuitenbrouwer writes that Mr Harper
netted almost $840,000 in salary, compensation and by exercising options
last year from the company and its subsidiaries even as its stock went
bust. A management proxy circular filed before the company's annual meeting
in March shows Mr Harper earned $588,800 by exercising 184,000 Golden Rule
shares last year. He also received a salary of $92,400, up 60 per cent from
$58,400 the year before, and $125,000 "in his capacity as a consultant or
expert" through Golden Rule consultants Hardscrabble Resources. Then
there's $33,000 for his work as president of three subsidiaries. Last year
when the shares were collapsing Mr Harper told analysts, "I'm eating my own
cooking," referring to his large holdings in the company.

Mon 23 Feb 98ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ News Release

Mr Robert Roseman reports

A securities class action has been commenced in the US Districtÿ Courtÿ for theÿ Easternÿ District of Pennsylvania on behalf of those who purchased the common stock of Golden Rule Resources duringÿ theÿ periodÿ Octoberÿ 3ÿ 1996 through May 14 1997 (class period).

Golden Rule, directly and through its subsidiariesÿ whichÿ itÿ ownsÿ and/or controls,ÿ isÿ engaged in the exploration and development of precious metal properties in the US, Canada, Venezuela, and Ghana, West Africa.

The company operates exploration programs for its own account and on behalf ofÿ itsÿ jointÿ ventureÿ partners,ÿ itsÿ subsidiaries, affiliates and other clients on a contractual and consulting basis.

The complaint alleges that during the class period, Golden Rule, its senior executives, and the senior executives of related parties, violated sections 10 (b) and 20 (a) ofÿ theÿ Securitiesÿ Exchangeÿ Actÿ ofÿ 1934ÿ byÿ issuing materiallyÿ falseÿ andÿ misleadingÿ statementsÿ relatingÿ toÿ Golden Rule's business operations.

Specifically, theÿ complaintÿ allegesÿ inÿ substanceÿ thatÿ theÿ defendants misrepresented both the quantity and quality of gold finds in Golden Rule's mining operations in Ghana, whichÿ wereÿ conductedÿ throughÿ theÿ company's Hixon Gold Resources subsidiary.

The complaint further alleges that the defendantsÿ madeÿ andÿ causedÿ these materiallyÿ falseÿ andÿ misleadingÿ statementsÿ toÿ beÿ madeÿ inÿ orderÿ to artificially inflate Golden Rule's stock priceÿ soÿ thatÿ companyÿ insiders could sell their shares of company stock at artificially inflated prices.

The complaint further alleges that, when the truth concerningÿ theÿ results ofÿ miningÿ operations was revealed at the close of the class period on May 15 1997, the market price of Golden Rule's common stock, whichÿ hadÿ traded asÿ high as over $13 per share during the class period, plunged to under $3 per share at the close of the class period on May 20ÿ 1997,ÿ andÿ currently trades at approximately $0.75 per share.

The plaintiff seeks to recover damagesÿ onÿ behalfÿ ofÿ allÿ purchasersÿ of Goldenÿ Rule common stock during the class period. He is represented by the law firm, Spectorÿ &ÿ Roseman,ÿ PC,ÿ whichÿ hasÿ expertiseÿ inÿ prosecuting investorÿ classÿ actionsÿ and has extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.

Why not a Shareholder rights offering! Let the shareholder buy the stock & warrents. Sounds like the present managment, knows very little about the equity markets. Probably listening to subservient brokers on their own mandate. Tune them up, and VOTE NO!
