RE: some answers... Appreciate the update, Snobei. Did Mike say what steps are being taken to preserve shareholder value? Presently, the ratio of overhead to market cap is so high that it is hard to see how the company can continue as a separate entity. There are too many managements to be supported by the shriveled Venture market; many will have to go. Some that will survive are in "shareholder preservation" mode, eliminating or deferring most non-mining expenses.
