BEST MOMENTS

"We've spent the year building up the confidence level of that project." 

"I think, the current situation in the Middle East, the disruption to shipping through the Middle East, I think this is just all a perfect storm for a great gold market."

"I think, the world needs junior miners. The big companies aren't, you know, they're not out there finding their own deposits. They're buying small companies like Asara." 

"Give some love to your junior miners. It's been a tough year for us. And, you know, we're all out here doing the best job we can. And, we need support to find discoveries."
