searching for information

[Thomas Astebro]

Do not rely on the organization alone to provide you with information!
They want to portray it as positively as possible. However, the
information you get might not be that accurate. Recall the story I told
you about Bre-X Minerals! To find out more from independent sources see
the following (see also
