Tickle, tickle, tickle. Part2
Since Jan/07 to today (and I might have missed some revenue) URSA piz.z.ed away $18,466,971. I would never have thought that they would have had to borrow money to get the mine up and running.
Once again, tickle attempts to malign Richard Sutcliffe with a personal attack that insinuates that money has been mis-spent at Ursa. Let's see what has happened at Ursa over the past 3 1/4 years to justify the spending. For one thing, Ursa spent approx. $3 million investing in Patricia Mining ( something tickle did not object to at the time ). They also had a share buy back program to support the stock and keep the float low. Both these decisions proved to be poor decisions ( hindsight is a wonderful thing ) but not too many people saw the collapse in the metals market .
I have been to the Shakespeare mine and was very impressed. In the past 3 1/4 years, a road into the mine has been constructed. A sedimentation pond ( award winning ) has been built along with drainage. A weigh scale has been bought and installed. An area has been cleared to build a mill. A contractor was hired to ship ore to Xstrata and a crusher was bought to cruch ore before shipping. Ore has had to be extracted and crushed. Drilling has been ongoing at Shakespeare, Nickel Offsets, Shinning Tree and the old Worthing Bell site. Claims have been staked at Seagull and Disraeli. Ursa has appeared at several mining shows to promote the company. All these things cost money! I am not happy with the consulting fees we pay RS and Chris Chadder but most junior companies pay these consulting fees as a matter of course. Ursa is no different. If nickel had stayed around $11-$12 lb, we would all be laughing to the bank. I would bet a dollar to a dime that tickle has sold his position in Ursa and now is looking for someone to blame for his investment decisions. Asking questions is a good thing and Ursa investors should call or e-mail management on a regular basis to keep their feet to the fire. Tickle, why don't you just post your costs estimates on the board?

Hey Tickle,
Remember this article?? fro 2007??? It is funny to re read it but it also puts things into focus. Now you can really bash as you accumulate.

Who would give the dog a 2.5 million credit facility at low interest? Bash away.
