Good to see you back to Ian, your posts are always a good read, don't allow a poster of little value to keep you away, I needed a little time away, we all do at some point, Chairman of the board held responsible for shareholder value, CEO responsibility is with the function and operation of the corporation, maybe we will be better off with splitting the roles of chairman and CEO. I'm not happy with the JV structure and posted my concern right after, what I've been bothered with is the fact that this partner have pulled out of another deal with a junior and hope this was not used only for a bump in share price to raise funds, been on my mind, something to consider, like all investors I am hoping for a good outcome but the longer it take your mind tend to wonder and suspicions grows deeper and as always won't sugarcoat it, we need to know where we stand soon, those that sell at these prices would or could only regret it, just don't know if it time to buy more here
