I could see us being bought out before any infrastructure gets built. As soon as they can show this process works on a large scale and permitting is in place I think we will be as good as gone.

Question now is, what do they find between now and then and maybe, they only sell a portion of the property and then roll back the shares and move forward on exploring the rest of the property? If they find the feeder zone(have my fingers crossed!) then we could see this bought out within 12 months and maybe a bidding war. Although there aren't too many majors left, they have all bought each other out. I see BHP and the Chinese as being the most interested. BHP has land surrounding and we all know the Chinese want to secure as much metal as they possibly can so they can continue to grow their country. But who knows, there could be a private equity firm that could be interested......

I have been in this since fall of 2000 so I think it is time for us to reap our reward, eh Jerry?
