Nice to hear that JB&BOD are being contacted.  For my part have petitioned many companies in the past few years.  Not that my heart got left up in AK but from JB's history my read is that the lucky party will be the one that does a deal with JB&BOD.  On one of my recent inquiries when i mentioned the 20,22% copper in Bisbee's historical record the person actually nearly fell of his chair whence he realized that HM and Bisbee are in the exact same geo-structure.  That was very jolting expierence for me, an LOL after he got ahold of hismelf.  The real problem with HM is that it is TOO good to be true in the sence that it could be 100 years of mining and that it is in such a desirable and friendly place to be mining.  Me thinks one of these CA's will realize that we are going to run out of copper in short order and they just have an open window of time now to get on the wagon!
