And so we see, perhaps, that a JV in order to to retain half ownership of a producing mine (with the partner's half the cost to finance construction) might be the only way we get to dollars from cents. That has to occur after a significant SP rise in order to make sense to a potential partner. Probably post FS.

And, for what it's worth, I don't care how GT is keeled, nor his state of vigor. If he wants to sell for 40 cents (or maybe even less, with less astonishment), my keeling is vigorously conflicting with his.
