Oh, One last thing. The players I have in mind are all old acquaintances and have worked together in the past in one respect or another. BMK I cannot say but it seems they are not one of the old close, close acquaintances and thus jockying for their own advantage. I believe there can easily be two or even three true BIG BOYS in the end or at least one of them and two or more relatively strong smaller but significant finalists. As for development costs of any kind. If the mineral value is there the costs are NOT a problem and thus NOT a serious consideration in the final analysis. Just a necessary development expense, nothing more. Hundreds of examples clearly demonstrate this from the past. Old Joe
