There are talks, and there are talks. It's likely that HM has popped up on the radar of various mining co's, major or minor. But has our co ever received any proposal, formal or informal, written or oral, from any mining co, big, small, global or otherwise, to do a deal at HM? It's about time management stopped the fluff, stopped the tease, and told the co's owners flat-out whether or not any mining co has expressed any bona fide interest in any of our claims.
