goldbaron,
There is a long story to this situation. John is an excellent poster who knows his stuff.
This is a disagreement in 1 sentence or 2 of an agreement between several plays.
The wording and information received by both plays is slightly different. its the old case of the signature over the handshake.
The mining industry does, at time, continue to honor the handshake. The question is, Do we have a signed document or a promise.
Depending on which track you believe will cause you to invest the right or wrong way.
A word of advice if I may be so bold. JD tries real hard to get the right information. He then shares it with everyone. Read all of his posts. There is a lot of info re all of the area plays. The people I find who argue with him are those who don't want to hear the truth, or those who are here to deceive..
I hope this helps with your queery.....Don
