Billy, I don't think that you will hear anything specific from Roy on this.
While I have been critical of Roy many times (mostly because his speculation just results in disappointment), I think that he is pro-KRY and wants this to happen fir us and those poor jobless miners.
Perhaps, he really gets positive comments from politicos in VZ, but those are about as reliable as the guesses that we make here.
I think that his latest comments are probably the smartest he's made: (to paraphrase) hang in there, it is going to happen when it happens.
