G: There must be a point here but I'm not sure what it is. I'm also curious as to your affiliation and/or purpose. While I don't assume any nefarious reason for your vitriol, I can't help but be curious as to your identity, and I wonder whether you have any spray paint cans in your closet. Perhaps you would consider contacting me personally, by email ( gwtaylor@yamana.com), on the personal side of this thread or by telephone (1-888-809-0925), to discuss your concerns. I have a weakness for taking serious concerns seriously -- including angry ones -- but I am beginning to have particular difficulty with points of view that sound more like charges and voices in the dark threatening to turn a dialogue into a screaming match. As for management's inability to put together a deal, I'm afraid I'm at a loss here as well. We are presenting ourselves to investors and they are making their choices. During recent weeks and months, other potential exploration / mining deals are continuing to prove a struggle; I understand that most have either been withdrawn, delayed, failed or have been extremely small, while a couple of others have been successful. If you feel that the prices of gold and silver have nothing to do with this, again, it's an opinion. The problem I'm having is what I am hearing from individual investors, several bankers, other people in the industry and, for that matter, in commentaries in the financial press, newsletter writers and several analysts, that the biggest single factor right now is the uncertainty about metal prices. The great irony, in my view, is that we KNOW that prices will firm up. We BELIEVE that this will help companies like ours. Just as we know there is very serious mineralization at Lejano and Bacon and we believe we have the makings of a serious mine. Unfortunately, the greater questions have become, "Who cares?" and "How much are they willing to pay for it?" Greg
