Dave Webb did get back to me about whether or not Tyhee's talking about a JV.
The jist of what he essentially said was that as 'any dog with flees' (my joke!) would want to look at options to best progress and increase its value, especially for its shareholder, that company would look at all options, and there are many.
Those options that are taken most seriously would eventually be made public. That hasn't yet happened.
