Ridge's directors are buying!

The transition from explorer to producer started when BR project
was declared "GO AHEAD"; plenty of months for spectacular s/p gains imho.

Blue Ridge project
Terence Wilkinson, Chief Executive, commented.

'The successful completion of this study marks a major breakthrough for Ridge
Mining and is recognition of our innovative approach to optimising this resource
and the competence of our technical management in delivering an economic project
against the background of a strong local currency.'

'I believe that we can now make the important transition from explorer to
producer.'
