We all need to relax and let the pros work. We need to realize that there's about 19 business days left in December. A lot of us have been waiting for months -some even longer- and we are now within days of the bfs. I think it will come out in the first half of Jan. New year, clean slate. It does not matter since Tech already KNOWS what to expect. We tend to think that we are dealing with amateurs. I'm pretty sure that Tech has not hired someone to watch cuu's website for the bfs nr. Btw, if they want a higher grade starter pit and shorter payback period, don't they need to incorporate the new drilling into the equation? Not an expert, but I would think so. This would explain the delay. JMO Pat
