1) JV now, ASAP, pronto. The partner would need to be anxious to expedite progress to production. We all would instantly own approximately 50% of the share of Tyhee that we own now. But think of it as instead of our continued gradual but substantial dilution, we'll dilute all at once for a moneyed partner. I do not mean to trivialize the difficulty of finding such a like-minded partner. But try we must. Now.

2) Drill baby drill. And then drill some more.

3) Use the newfound financial muscle to simultaneously build mining infrastructure as quickly as permitting allows. Get mines, mill, everything up and running like - well - as if we were a gold mining company! What a unique idea!

I firmly believe shareholder value - stock price - would take off under my less independent scenario. I also expect the usual resistance to this idea to appear in a post typically five times longer than this one delineating how life is good with Tyhee exactly as it is now and that no such partnership is necessary nor advisable. But that mode of thought is like procrastinating to stop smoking because life is good when we smoke. But we're really just dying slowly in the process.
