In an effort to develop a process to distribute dividends

"in-kind" we would like your feedback. "In-kind" distribution

challenges include but are not limited to: locating addresses

for individual shareholders; determining minimum

ownership thresholds necessary for denominations into

one ounce gold and silver coins; and costs associated with

minting, shipping and handling.
