Bob, I know not the relationship between Global Ventures and the J&T catalyst company, but I can tell you that I have seen Twiford use "Global Ventures" on his letterhead. What interest Jensen has in that, I do not know. "Global Ventures" could own GPGI stock in that name and I suspect does, and J&T catalyst certainly does, much to my dismay here. On another subject, I certainly agree that no path other than production at a profit will move this stock. I would hate to be the person to say that when the wolf truly is ravaging the flock, but so be that! Those who doubt the veracity of the company due to past history are legion, and I must say that Jensen has certainly presided over that. Looking to the future! Success is not insured by verified assay results. One must bring the property into production and though I certainly hope and pray that that happens expeditiously, the process might be frought with further problems. Since we know not how the ores were selected and processed, then we cannot have great faith that the process was random and if it is not, then may not represent the properties of the bulk of the ores. Since we neither have the funds nor the time to fully sample the properties, I suggest that we select the most promising ores and processes and attempt to make a profit. If we do not, then we are temporarily in failure. I think it prudent to take our best shot here in light of the present situation and I think that further dilly-dallying and fiddle-playing and farting in the general direction of the subject at hand would be unwise! Let us proceed in the direction of the battlefield with the forces which we have been able to rally and under the present though beleagered leadership and hope for victory!! I am prepared to spend time training future soldiers of the purpose! I and my squire will lend a hand in the effort! We have fought more futile battles that all others combined, we are prepared for the future! Don Q, Jack, ESQ, and worthy Squire and Steed, extraordinare, but somewhat swaybacked and flatulent!
