"Our previous experience with SOX had been a disappointment, with six consultants providing an onerous set of documentation that was designed for manufacturing and not mining," said J. Roland Vetter, chief financial officer of Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. "But our experience with Vibato could not have been better. They actually got our accounting staff to look forward to working on SOX-related activities again, and we are counting on them to support our SOX testing and expansion efforts as we grow."
