Just look at short interest of both Grz & Kry. Even with reduced volume of recent month trading, Kry days to cover is under 2 days while Grz is 19 days. A number of inferences can be taken. 1. Kry is in a better position to move forward with a permit as shorts have already covered. 2. Grz is either dead in the water or Grz is in a very explosive bullish position.

Conf. Call - DB seemed to stress that a combined single mine had been extensively discussed(technically) with Mibam/CVG and that there were many benefits to a single mine, yet he said no discussions had taken place with Kry only VZ govt. This concept of a single mine may be what is holding everything up. He also talked early about selling half their equiptment as a strategy. All in all, I came away with the impression that he was trying to confuse us and playing his cards very close to the vest because there is a good deal happening behind the scenes.
