Wow the old dog's not dead yet! Imagine that, on a day when almost every gold stock was down, we managed to go up half a cent! Not only that, there was a strong bid as well. I feel the optimism that a marooned sailor feels when he spots a distant ship passing by the windswept atoll on which he has been stranded on for longer than he can remember. The jury seems to feel, based on the evidence thus far presented, that there is no gold to be found on the joint venture claims. I however continue to believe that the gold does not somehow magically disappear from the shoreline basalt on Strikepoint's side of the fence. Cheers guys.
