Yeah, a lot of "maybes" there.  And maybe we need a real exploration geologist on the board too, one who is immediately available to direct on-site activities.  And, in my opinion, surrendering operations to a major, especially at this point, is asking for trouble when the company holds prospects elsewhere beyond Earp Ridge/Hay Mountain.  

By the way, there is my largest concern.  It's not for the immediate future, it's for the larger story inclusive of multiple other discoveries, should we have one at all.  What I am saying is, I would rather deal with a tiny partner for now than with a lumbering gorilla who may prove dangerously uncontrollable or unreliable later.
