I remember someone (I think it was Peter, but not 100% sure) saying that the environmental roadblocks were basically due to one individual who had land in the area. Sure doesn't sound like that now.
I got into this after the May plunge at 2.62 - I'm a little underwater, but it still hasn't broken down. Seems like a real crapshoot right now. If the EPA OKs the project, NAK might go up a dollar or so. But if it goes thumbs down, NAK becomes a penny stock. I'm not sure yet, but I'm thinking of dumping this before the EPA meeting.
I think ultimately this mine gets built, but only after copper becomes extremely valuable - which could take decades.
