scott, thanks for bringing up the mini-mill. as far as i'm concerned it seems like the only viable option at this point. continuing to try and raise money for limited drilling in this environment seems pointless. even if we get great drill results the affect on PPS is minimal. even with a very small mill we could at least have a better idea of what we believe is there. that may just make the project marketable.

as far as flipping board members goes...it would most likely cost us more to try and start fresh. it's not as if we're working with a company that has vast resources. i'm sure there are places to cut expenses but trying to bring a new management team onboard when you have limited resources and time seems suicidal to me.

start the mill. let the chips fall where they may.
