RE: RE: NRTake a look at HPY now who is on their Technical Advisory Board!In respect to a posstible opportunity, which I have mentioned a couple of times and bored the $hit out of a few, take a look at HPY now. Yesterday Mineral Fields appeared to do a last ditch effort of selling. Today HPY announced 2 Technical advisors on board! Significant since HPY has a copper property right next to Teck's Highland Valley Copper Mine, largest in Canada. HPY is drilling their copper property(have established 2 zones) and their tungsten property. With respect to their copper, Graeme Evans, a former Teck guy is on board with HPY! This guy wouldn't be in the picture unless HPY has something of merit. Secondly, the other fellow is a heavy too, David Kuran, Eskay Creek, Fronteer Gold (sold to Newmont for $2.3 Billion), etc.
HPY's market cap is $9 million. Lot's of drill results coming. Why would these guys come on board if the results won't hold??? Keep it on your radar! Release is below if you think I'm messing with your mind.
