Thanks Kry_Chaser

I still don't feel the mine data is a significant item in the big picture. The comment that the Chinese didn't follow through in my opinion has more to do with not having a formal agreement with VZ than the cost of producing the drill results themselves. We have all learned what formal agreements mean( piss all) with them! Drill results would have been pocket change for them.

There was back in the day at least two times where the "data room" was accessed(from my limited memory). I wonder what was actually accessed and where that all settled.

The tax scenario is much appreciated.
