The purpose of the proxy was to enable me to receive proxy statements from shareholders. In the interest of time, I am withdrawing the proxy and instead will continue to use the definitive proxy statement filed by eRaider.com. Let me make clear that I continue to be a nominee on the Shareholder Value Slate and reserve the right to solicit proxies on the slate's behalf. I am in no way withdrawing from the contested proxy with Goldfield Corporation. Therefore, the withdrawal of my preliminary proxy in no way affects the definitive proxy filed by eRaider.com. Sincerely, Sam Rebotsky
