RE: RE: The Team Keeps Moving Things Forward

OMG- maybe it's time for me to reconsider my investment in this company.                                                                    

On the one hand;  a team of executives that have been in the mining industry for decades and overseen the start up and operation of many large and sucessful companies:

-Craig Nelson-  founder and Chairman of Metallica Resources Inc; resided over a three-company merger between Metallica, Peak Gold, and New Gold Inc into New Gold 

Peter Barnes- served as CEO for Silver Wheaton; was the CFO of Wheaton River Minerals and Goldcorp Inc.; honoured with the National Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year(r) 2010 Special Citation Award for Innovative Global Strategies, along with the Pacific region award for Mining and Metals

Robert Cross- founder, Chairman and a Director of Bankers Petroleum Ltd; Chairman and a Director of Northern Orion Resources Inc; Chairman of EAGC Ventures Corp; Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yorkton Securities Inc; Partner-Investment Banking of Gordon Capital Corporation 

James Arnold- Chief Operating Officer and board Member of Romarco Minerals, a junior gold mining company focused on the construction and commissioning of the Haile Mine in South Carolina; Sr. Vice President of Colorado Operations for Climax Molybdenum, a division of Freeport McMoRan, overseeing the Henderson Mine and the Climax project. Henderson Mine is the world's largest molybdenum mine and the world's lowest cost underground mine

Mark Smith- member of the Board of Directors and a shareholder of Molycorp Minerals, LLC. Molycorp Minerals; president and Chief Executive Officer of Chevron Mining Inc; operated five mines and was engaged in a joint venture with CONSOL Energy Inc to develop the Youngs Creek Mine; Vice President for Unocal Corporation

A J Ali- Chief Financial Officer of Centenario Copper Corporation; Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer of EuroZinc Mining Corporation; Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Resource 21; Vice-President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Vista Gold Corp.; member of the Financial Executives International and the Institute of Corporate Directors

Kenneth CollisonChief Operating Officer of Thompson Creek Metals which included the responsibility for the operations of the Endako and Thompson Creek molybdenum mines; director of the Mining Associations of Canada and BC 

And on the other hand:                                                                                              Telemarker - a guy who sits too close to his computer monitor who's in depth analysis amounts to "NFG".

Hmmm....what does Telemarker know about shipping ore that the Avanti team of executives doesn't I wonder.

Oh yeah NAFT.
