caused the markets to close for 2 days for the 1st time in history, caused 29 deaths, caused millions to still be without electric including my family in NY, but the 1 thing it didn't do is delay the Sinker Tunnel Project to start on Nov. 1st. There are 15 MSHA certified contractors that will be at the site on Thursday to finish the rock-bolting in the Tunnel and blow out that safety room to start drilling. Expect drills to arrive thereafter, in Nov.

The Company's "escape and evacuation plan," as well as SFMI's
membership in the area's "mine rescue organization," will be current for the
tunnel opening date, November 1, 2012.
The Company's MSHA certified underground workforce has been notified of this
forthcoming starting date, with work starting immediately on that date.

I expect our pps to start going in the right direction (UP) in Nov. and never look back.
