hat auch was zu melden, mit seinen 1,3 Mio. shares sollte er auch am Ball bleiben.
Offensichtlich wird auch ein neuer IR-Mann gesucht, sehr gut!!

Not surprising, I received a call from Robert Barker of Evolving Gold late last evening. Thankfully, my previous comments about him being a true gentleman was highly accurate. While he took exception to some of my previous comments about management, he and I ended up having a truly great chat. Even more importantly, I came away from our discussion even more bullish on EVG’s future endeavors.
At the same time I was previously pointing out the market had concerns about some past management decisions, I also reminded those who took issue that this is the very same management who discovered not one, but two potential world-class deposits. Knowing 99% of its peers never even find one, I think we must put that fact at the top of the list when reviewing management’s qualifications.
Robert recognizes the company has not done a great job on the investor relations side of things like the conference call earlier this week. He noted like the fine addition of having Tookie Angus take charge of the board, management is seeking similar caliber-type personnel for the IR side of things.
But perhaps the most important part of our conversation was Robert’s assessment of the two projects themselves. It was during this part I realized how fortunate we were to have his 45 years of exploration experience. I came away absolutely convinced EVG can have one heck of a summer and fall. If a junior truly lives or dies based on what it hits at the end of a drill bit, EVG shareholders have one of the best chances of living long and strong. In his heart of hearts, Robert thinks we’ve hit only the smoke at Rattlesnake and the second drill hole at the Carlin was the best he ever was personally involved with. It also helped me realize what he was trying to get across on the conference call about the anticipated 43-101. It’s not some horrifically low number versus some legitimate number one could’ve speculate on the back of an envelope, but rather as important as the resource is, Robert feels what’s in front of them on the potential discovery front is what the market should be focusing on. He recognizes he didn’t communicate that well and assure me this makes the desire to greatly improve IR even more paramount.
Knowing there’s a potential conflict of interest by me not only because of my working relationship, but the fact that I now own over 1.3 million shares makes me highly biased, I truly had pleasant dreams after finishing our conversation. Knowing it can and will come back and bite me if EVG isn’t anywhere as successful as I now believe it can be, I’m going to suggest “All” speculators/gamblers consider EVG as a significant part of their juniors portfolio. Yes, you must be prepared financially and mentally to lose part or all of your capital. But for that clear risk, I think the reward could end up among the best I certainly have experience in over 25+ years playing the markets.
