I don't believe it is back to the status-quo Dolphin. If it was back to the status-quo there would be no discussions. Everyone in Government is talking about the importance of a road/rail in. In my opinion this trial and judgement has moved everything ahead.
Also, management should not be underestimated. They could now really focus on their next steps. Frank is quite a guy.
Money would be no object in the grand scheme of things. Government will be heavily involved as it should. Even if we scratch the mining, a way in is viewed as humanitarian not to mention the tourism trade with the possibility of jobs to the fn. Toss in the mining and you have what could be called "The Perfect Storm". KWG sits pretty good here. They have the way in after all.
adressing the time factor for sure it won't be tomorrow. Be nice if it was a few years. It won't be as long as it has been if that makes sense. Many have been on these boards for several years. That is what I mean when I say it won't be as long as it has been....:)
