My deadline is July. I can't afford to wait any longer than that. If we don't have the permit by then....well past the first year anniversery of initial posting of bond\payment of taxes...then it could be a long wait. Hopefully not for whomever is still holding for the permit...but "a man has to know his limitations". If Sanz is as "no-nonsense" as he's cracked up to be...and given the "three week" time frame for his visit to the mine and meeting with KRY management, we should certainly have the permit by then...unless, of course, Hugo doesn't want the permit granted. BTW...if, for whatever reason, Hugo is the reason we don't have a permit, I wouldn't expect an out and out "no" to the permit from him. It would be more politically correct for him to simply let KRY go on waiting for the permit without stating his intentions in that regard. That way...he has no legal backlash or bad international press. Don't get me wrong I really believe we SHOULD get the permit this spring. All facts and logic lead to that conclusion. But if we don't have the permit by the end of July...I'm out (at least as far as holding long for the permit with 100% of my available investment funds. Maybe I'll trade some in KRY and buy some other stocks. Minefinders [MFN] was up 10% last Thursday. Doody likes it...Puplava likes it and its in Meheeco). I've had a bellyfull of Chavez and his blustering third world bullshit. His country is an economic disaster. He is very successful in one sense though. Every day he comes closer to achieving his goal of making Venezuela a vibrant economic powerhouse...just like Cuba.
