Q: Is there meret in the theory that metals do best at the end of a bull market. Does history show this. I'm thinking a recession is on the horizon based on the double digit returns I've been seeing in metals and should start taking profits.

Q: This question is actually on i 80 gold's common shares but you can comment on the warrants as well. This is my stake in a gold developer (I have larger positions in Agnico Eagle and BTGold) and it has disappointed me. They have good geology in a top notch juristiction (Nevada). They have lots of infrastructure that could be refurbished (an old autoclave) there are roads, (like Interstate 80), a rail spur, historic mining knowledge but all of this has not done the share price any good. Mangement is trying to get a partner to develop their base metal assets but there have been no offers (at least publicly) and therefore the company had to do another share offering to keep the drills turning. They are producing some gold and gold beaing ore but not enough to generate enough cash to keep the exploration drills turning. The $100 + million they raised a few months ago can keep them going to Christmas or early next year. What do you think will happen with I-80 gold? A take out at a lower valuation? Another equity raise which means more dilution to current shareholders? A joint venture on the base metal? I think this company has lots of potential but how long should one wait for these 'nuggets in the rough" to get polished into shiny gold?

Q: Hi Peter...Do you have any comments on GOT's latest press release? Do you feel they have enough money to fund this year's drill program or is there a strong likelyhood of a share offering in the not too distant future? Any change in insider ownership? Does Eric Sprott, (a noted "gold bug") still own 9% of the common stock? The share price is down slightly today which may indicate investor sentiment that a share offering is in the works. Of course that's what's public markets are for!

Q: May I have your current thoughts on FM? It seems the newly elected president is looking at getting third party verification of the mine’s level of environmental danger. Does FM have a good reputation in that aspect of the operation. There was a recent heap leach mine failure in Turkey with fatalities. Did that occur at an FM mine?
Thanks,
Jim
