Mr. Frederick; <<... based on past results from Ledoux more in the 1+ opt on gold alone AND knowing that there will certainly be other metals proven... >> Newcomers to the thread may be interested to know that Ledoux has been around a lot longer than this latest round of certified numbers; yesterday's results being the second of this testing series using multiple laboratories working on Behre Dohlbear supervised Chain Of Custody, Certified Standard Lead Fire Assays. In many senses current events, up to and including the demonstration of economic recovery and the precious metal distribution profile within Franklin Lake, represent a real beginning as more institutions and individual investors discover this opportunity. But that really is not the case; much already has been done. If we step back a bit we see that Franklin Lake has been punctured with drill holes for at least the last nine years Naxos has been around. During that time thousands of assays of all standard and non-standard stripes have been performed on our ore. Many of these assays have produced gold and precious metals; and as Mr. Silvers points out, <You unequivocally can NOT assay more metals than are present in the ore. You CAN assay less. > And, unless you're perhaps working along side Mr. Champion, precious metals are not likely to appear out of thin air. Therefore if gold or precious metals appear in any amount in an assay they really are there -- unless someone compromised the results, i.e. scam or fraud, which, we have learned, absolutely is not the case with Naxos. Now that we have taken detailed security protocols I should hope that the "scam spectre" is behind us. Perhaps it's time we have another look at the tremendous amount of data we have collected over the years with a re-freshed perspective. Each drill hole is, to me, an *X* that marks a treasure spot...i.e. some precious metal was found there. I stipulate that these PM numbers will never achieve the stature of contemporary standards, however I submit that they may have some real value. As I pointed out above gold does not appear out of nowhere and many of these old numbers are Ledoux certified numbers. Every single one of the best contacts and sources I have developed over the last couple of years is positive about the new direction the company has chosen. I am appreciative of all the praise accorded Jimmy John on this thread and would like to add my own voice to the chorus of thanks. A surefire indication of that change of direction will be, I'm sure, closer attention to getting information to the stockholders; at least timely and regular press releases. My hat is off to all the newbies and thread veterans, touters and skeptics alike for maintaining a sensible, reasonable temper and tone on our thread. Thank all of you very much. Jerard P
