"Elmer said this report is critical to the next steps! (Sale process?)"

Next steps? When or what was Elmer's last step? Did you not ever wonder where the results are of all the "desktop studies" that he claimed were taking place and all that time consumed over the past years? What ever happened to negative copper, buy develop sell repeat, "yes the FS is still expected in this quarter" or my favorite, it was too foggy to drill while I'm flying overhead Schaft Creek with my old dog in a VFR floatplane on a beautiful sunny day and nobody's even on the property.

I feel like I've been conned by the guy on the soap box in front of the tent at the carnival.
