Scottm, you seem to be in the know?
What the market knows is there was anon-commercial deal done by the Icon Board to acquire an option to the right tomine tungsten which included unsustainable royalty payments. I do not know thatanyone included in your list other than John (and the Icon Board) was involvedin negotiating that?
Certainly Ian and Leon (as part of the newBoard) did not try to change that or acquire the quarry business until Jim’sefforts (with Russell already reigning as the Board Chairman).
No one knows what the present agreementRussell and the present Board have negotiated involves – do you? It iscertainly something that we shareholders should have been told, but there arealways commercial reasons (excuses) not to divulge such critical information itseems.
Hopefully the game being played as you callit, does not also end up goalless (again)!
I too will not attend the AGM - what is the point?
