And ever since, Tyhee has been under a cloud. In the end, though, we are in a better situation now than if Puplava had stayed. JP is an opportunist and a short term investor for the quick buck, when things don't go entirely his way - even when he suddenly changes his mind - he gets out, which is only natural but his consistency and reliability are suspect. From what I hear about S and B they are in the game for achieving the long vision, and are working very well with DW and the team. I like that.

We are building a head of steam, we can just sense it. The Information Request stage is particularly good news since we had thought there was a serious backlog of requests for Environmental Assessments by the government. But one thing about DW, he is very involved in the community up there, giving lectures and courses on mining to the people there, and especially the Native people, to create confidence in the Tyhee plan.

Next we will leave the station, then the momentum will carry us cross country and into the next state! Whether Georgia or Michigan or Indiana - or Venezuela, we luv em all! Ike
