AAAHHH Politics, I have been in this stock for over 4 years and I recall the mining district that Shaft creek is a part of, referred to as a "Strategic Asset" At the time this came from an American official from a mining conference in Florida I recall. If the Americans are viewing this as a strategic asset what do you think the Harper government is thinking of it as?
The definition of a strategic asset being:
Assets that are needed by an entity/country in order for it to maintain its ability to achieve future outcomes. Without such assets the future well being of the company/company/continent could be in jeopardy.
As Vette alluded to, Big Politics is/will have an impact on our play here, hopefully it is positive for us.
