I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for those trying to make these decisions. Imagine trying to attach a price to a property like this while trying to secure both raw and human resources and meet a contractual time frame for building at the same time. Kind of a conundrum in a way - they can't build the infrastructure required to mine the property until they secure a lot of the very same resources required to build it and shortages are looming in both of these areas.

I agree with you that there is a good chance they may be looking to buy us out completely because I don't really think they can have this mine built inside of four years. Even if other arrangements come into play it is going to cost them a pretty penny to get what they need to get around the 4yr time frame.

I liked our position before - I really like it the longer it drags out!
