drilling started 16 october 2012, page-38

I could not agree with you more Bluebottle18.

And to top it off he (Thompsjz69) gloats that he has picked the bottom to buy in!

Oh and regarding non-holders motive - In my case my initial interest was to invest - but on closer examination I thankfully changed my mind. As a potential investor I certainly have time on my side (unlike the current management of ALY)!

Now we hear that management want to be "awfully careful about where they spend money" - is this the next delaying ploy?

To re-iterate there will be no "nice hits" unless they do some drilling, and luck a "hit" from their new "awfully careful approach" to the preservation of cash!

To finish on motive - I'm a bit wary of people that appear who say they are all chummy with and in constant contact with management - and try to assure us that everything is fine - in the face of ligitimate concerns being expressed by shareholders like Bluebottle18 (who seems to have had a completely different experience with management!).
