Scott, I love your enthusiasm, but now you are talking about gambling.

If that is what you want to do and you believe that strongly in the project, then I would suggest that you get a bunch of well healed gamblers together and take the comapny private. With the amount of risk your suggesting you would also deserve an enourmous windfall if you are right. So you need to own the whole cake! I'd actually throw some ammo at a scenario like that if you can get a team together.

But you sure as heck wouldn't keep a 400 grand a year management team on staff to run a little company like this. It's a part time job that has been turned into a carreer. Have you watched that show on History channel with the guys mining in Alaska! We want to get a bunch of guys togehter to play on oversized Tonka Toys....I'm in! I even own a D8 Dozer I'd haul to Quebec, if you can pull it off! Be a great way to spend the summer playing in the dirt! LOL.
