KENYA: "Gold Mining Beats School Any Day"

Children under 18 constitute 30-50 percent of the total workforce in small-scale gold mines across Africa, according to the UN International Labour Organization.......
The use of mercury to amalgamate small particles of gold is also a source of concern because of its high toxicity and detrimental impact on children’s development.
“The damage from mercury on people’s health, including children, is there because they have been exposed for a long time,” said Hillary Okoth, a clinical officer at Migori District Hospital.

    Hello Bob,

    I have been a Habe follower for almost 8 years now (back in the Norman Haber days). I have fully believed in the process and what you are trying to do, but at some point, it should be a make or break. I understand that deals take time, but never heard of something like this taking years for a deal to materialize. Yes you say we are closer than ever, but how close? I would like to know how many active deals are you guys in pursuit of at this time? Not a deal of initial talks, but a deal in which you guys are down to the brass tax. A deal in which we are near the finish line, not the starting line. obviously you can't give names of companies in which you are talking to, but give us some guidance as to where we stand with Company A, Company B, etc... The generic response sounds good and all, but try be a bit more specific so that we can continue to hold on. At this point, we have to believe and trust you, but give us something to hold onto.

    Thanks.

    I would like to agree with Abgogators. I have been invested in Haber since 98 and have had ample chances to sell but I have always beleved that some day Norman's dream would be realized and we as well as the planet would be better for it. Not trading is the worst part of our delema. I have long wondered if the share holders coulden't somehow get this thing back on track. I would love to hear of any ideas to raise some funds and start our own processing plant.
