Wounded... I understand your point here.. And after all this time, one has to agree somewhat... Let's look at the big picture... The potash market is in the low to mid $300's now... This IMO is the biggest factor for where all juniors are today.. And I mean all....

I believe this was crafted by the cartel to drive our the big boys (BHP, Rio, etc).... As well as the smaller plays...

Only s few stand out as opportunities and we all know Allana still makes sense at these levels... The problem is $300's potash does get people excited these days... In Alana's case I believe most people believe it will make production... Question is how will the dilution take place and how significant will it be... If any... (Had to throw that possibility out)....

We've hit all three major milestones including attracting a major partner during the toughest times in potash in 7-10 years... Not bad I say... At least we have a deal... More than I believe others will get IMO.

But.... And this is where it all hinges..... Financing.... Financing... Financing... Once the details here are finalized and announced and the project starts to move forward... Then we will see some interest from the big boys...

Will ICL make a move for Allana after financing is secured? It's anyone's guess... I personally see ICL in the future mining Ethiopian potash... Not Allana.... Of course the price must be right...

My opinion here, I'll be curious to hear what others think...
