To Fran Six: You have used this discussion forum repeatedly over the last several months in an attempt to smear Ron Netolitzky and Golden Band. Few if any explorers have Ron's track record of delivering outstanding returns to patient investors, eg, Viceroy and Brett as two recent examples. Since Ron reasserted himself in the management of the company several months ago, GBN has delivered on every representation and milestone it has made. There is no doubt in my mind that you are the naked short-seller who has tried, unsuccessfully, to scare retail investors out of their positions. With nearly a million ounces in the ground currently, plenty of blue sky, and annual gold production of 45,000- 70,000 ounces about ready to start, GBN is likely more undervalued today than Brett was at this time last year. Of course prudent and patient investors who bought Brett a year ago in the .65-.90 range, would have a substantial gain considering it's share price is north of $4 today. Why don't you take a look at the open market purchases Ron Netolitzky has made of GBN for the PAST FIVE (5) YEARS. His interests are clearly aligned with that of all other shareholders and he probably has a greater interest in seeing the company be successful considering he is a 10% stakeholder. Stick to the facts --- they tell the truth.
