and by the way, that public statement about gold and Galore becoming a mine as a matter of " "when not if" " w/o even mentioning SC? ...well you can just imagine to whom he is directing this pump, and who he might demoralize by this acknowledgement/promotion of this ""alternate"" build choice...classic negotiating tactic by trying to prompt a reverse auction atmosphere.  I hope Ernesto doesn't fall for it.

What is that again Don?  Building first an out-dated-pre-FS-stage and logistical-nightmare Galore before building an easy, inexpensive, safe, and 7-years optimized-BFS and build ready stage Schaft Creek? 

LOL, pretty pathetic threat, imo. Some ol' boys just gotta play their games I guess.
