"--- but money talks and clf's will just sit back and let Wes make a deal with FN's and get it all approved---then move in and swoll everybody that is a hinderace--to their plans---I do NOT see WES and gang winning the chromite battle"

And Wes et al don't have to win the battle. To have a deal with FN, and approval from Gov't departments concerned, while CLF sits back and waits for it, would be something dreams are made of, for Wes or for us. And it could be a lot closer than many think.

Best regards
