I caught you on a misquote Jello! I said I didn't know anything about the permits and costs needed to start a mine, I didn't say I didn't know ANYTHING about mining. I know it is all done by litttle dwarfs who sing "Hi HO, Hi Ho, It's off to work we go.." as they walk into the mine with their little headlamps glowing. See! (sticks out his tongue)
I agree with you though. We stick to exploring, and if we feel we have the goods but no bids are forthcoming, then maybe we see about a partnership with a small producer (as Hrattle suggested). But that is some time in the future IMO.
