E21,

Where did you hear that Tyhee is letting the exploration staff go and is not planning on any exploration in the near future? I didn't see any such news release. Did Investor Relations make any such statement?

However, for fun, let's take the assertion as fact and see where it takes us. If Tyhee anticipates an attractive feasibility study, successful permitting, and successful mine financing in 2012, then the company may have no need for an exploration staff for two years hence as mine construction gets completed. This, of course, assumes a very lean operation, not wasting any money on additional exporation until it becomes funded out of current operations. So, even taking the assertion as fact, the ramification of the assertoin really doesn't seem so bad.

With best regards.

Old School.
