Larry- having new board member, a shareholder, deal with Austin Lett does appear to be the right decision, and working for everyone involved. Since 99% of all Naxos shareholders purchased the stock on the basis and potential of Franklin Lake I am glad to see some forward movement there. If Johnson /Lett can get some acceptable numbers in the next two week, chain of custody of course, I think you will see the stock start to wake up again. Timing could actually be good here. If Mr. Summers and the other new board members continue to focus on showing shareholders that the development of Franklin Lake is moving forward, and economic numbers are released, and that the pilot plant work has begun, the stock will move and people will start to flooding the company with cash by exercising warrants and options. Clearly the single best method for funding the company at this point. Larry you stated that CPM and other financial institutions would fund these new projects such as the one in Mexico. That would be a great testament of the newly acquired properties and management. The absolute WORST thing to do at this point would be to dilute the stock and the shareholders interest in Franklin Lake. Like the new members of the board of directors I purchased stock in Naxos Resources for the potential of Franklin Lake. Mostly (all)at multiples of yesterdays close. If Naxos now chooses to increase shareholder value by adding conventional properties like the copper property in Mexico and potentially others, lets not rush to dilute the value of each shareholders percentage ownership in Franklin Lake until all avenues, like the newly signed Johnson/Lett agreement have had a chance to play out. Positive news from Franklin Lake moved the stock handsomely before and very likely has the potential to do so again. Lets keep the focus on Franklin Lake and get the stock moving. There are literally millions of warrants and options outstanding. With a couple of new properties funded by CPM or institutions, and positive results coming from Franklin Lake and the pilot plant up and running, any new expansion could be funded by those exercising warrants and options. Potentially tens of millions of dollars. I'm sure the new board of directors realize that individuals and especially institutions hate the thought of having their holdings diluted. The market, evident by the current price of the stock, is obviously gravely concerned about a massive dilution coming. Lets be sure that the properties being acquired are of such a high quality that they can be 100% bank financed, thereby not diluting each and every shareholders interest in Franklin Lake. Max Haber
