Hi ismore,

I guess I should have explained myself better in that post. A lot of times here the phone will ring exactly when I am trying to write a post. Sometimes I lose my train of thought and am forced to speed up the writing of the post, or stand to lose it because of time limits here. It seems to me if you are over 20 minutes or so writing a post, that you will occasionally lose it on Agoracom. The end result, I dont get things across here exactly how I wish. Thanks to Hog, BOW and a few others, they know what I am trying to say and follow it up with a post of their own.

I beleive the halt is due to the permit, but I expect something more with it. A couple of other news bits that may come with it, possible, but not limited to, was the announcement that Lori has been approached by a suitor, AMEX, further sample assays, etc.

Just an NR stating that she has already been approached by such an interest would add to the sp. IMO, things are gonna happen quick here when they start. Remember the two examples of Arequipa and Aurealian, and how fast they took off.

I guess the permit would be considered a material change, whereas a vague approachment by a possible suitor would not. Nevertheless, having something more coming out with the permit could be very beneficial in pushing the sp.

In my idea, I hope we can get the sp really up there before an offer comes. Lori knows this and it is most likely part of her plan. The higher we get the sp, the less offers we will have to entertain, hence only have to spend time considering the serious ones and the most reasonable ones.

Further to your post, I agree that maybe the drills are already in route, going up the hill as we speak sort of thing.
