I talked with a a guy who writes about small cap Canadians over a year ago, and he said that he thought they were probably hoping to sell the company as a turn-key operation to a big mining outfit. However, that was just his opinion. With the share price as low as it is, though, I hope they don´t. The proven and probable reserves make this one of the richest mines around. When I spoke with this writer, he said he expected the shares to be worth 8-10$ US. I think he was being conservative. We should be getting the final permit ANYTIME within the next 6 months; it could be issued tomorrow. To my knowledge, all issues have been resolved. I intend to buy more, up until the permit is issued, as funds become available. I really don´t see any way to lose on this one; however, I´ve said that to myself before, and been wrong. It certainly does look like a winner, though. If anyone out there has a dissenting view, I´d like to know.
