To the best of my knowledge, since we only have permits (that we know of) for mining the bulk sample, this winter we will see mining the bulk sample and testing it.

These tests will validate the preliminary engineering by Sepro allowing the company to begin detail engineering for the process plant and begin procurement of the process equipment.

This spring I'd expect drilling to continue in earnest.

ALL of the above is contingent on financing.

IMO, the CTO and Baines cost the company a minimum one full lost year. This is cause for many to disrespect the company as they see these issues as being purely the fault of the company, so this is understandable (but not necessarily accurate).

The cause of these issues is highly debatable. No matter what you think the causes, they did hurt us.

Since then, the company is moving forward.
