We can re-state the technical side which comes down to us having about 20 million ounces of gold at FDN but the bottom line isn't whether we have the gold or that we have tremendous potential for more. We are caught in a political storm that we will need to ride out in order to see what happens. At the end of the day we may come out with a royalty & tax scheme that is better then the talk about the 70% WF tax we went into this mess with. However there is also the possibility that no matter how good the deal we may carry a political risk discount into an eventual takeover, based on what Ecuador did this past month.

Once the political game gets straightened out we will see a steady stream of information come out on assays, geological interpretations (a couple of months to think about things may yield some new thoughts on the fault structures), a feasability study, permit packages etc that we can hash around.

So for me its a wait and see game that I hope turns out in our favour and gets us back on track.
