"You talked about bringing in a partner. Have you had any approaches so far or is it too early to go and do that?"
"So I have been in a number of meetings with very large firms with their senior exploration people responsible for exploration in Africa. What they have all asked us for consistently pretty much the same message. Really interesting concept, interesting use of technology, really pretty looking diagrams, lots of lovely colours, all looks jolly nice, but come back when you have got some interesting rocks to show us. That's pretty much been the response from all of them. We think we've now got those rocks. I've brought this photo back up onscreen. Everybody that we've shown this to seems it's caused a reasonable degree of excitement I'd say. Whether or not we are looking at mineralistion at the stage I really couldn't say. We've had feedback that we certainly should be testing for PGEs which may not be visible to the naked eye. But at this point this is part of the reason we are looking to rush through the testing of these rocks in particular because once we actually know we've got those assay test results if are able then to go back to the people we have been talking to previously and say right look we've got definitive evidence of mineralisation with in the system, this is the model that has enabled us to get to that mineralisation. so the model of the Proterozoic which I showed you in this screen you know we have an exploration strategy that we believe is viable and the depths are also within range and this is how it can be rolled out I think at that point we should have a fairly compelling pitch. But it will all come down to the quality of or the results of the assay test."
