Um ah, did you miss the fact we are a year late on the FS? (Joking of course). We all know there could be a lengthy delay. If the geo's won't sign off then we have to get a ruling. I think this is happening now and it looks favourable. At least some of the co seems to be upbeat about it.
2 Months was enough time. So yes, your speculation about the land causing the delay could also be a factor. We could also be entertaining discussions about a 100 million dollars over 4 years for the right to option our other properties to Teck with the same terms. Teck could also want to buy shares off EE. So in one NR they announcce the land buying is done, Teck optioned off our propeties and EE sold shares to Teck. Then Teck buyers move in and support the sp. This ends the need for JV money and dilution to drill for the otion returns on expenses. One month later the FS comes out and the main deposit is sold.
