teut, the shares i have left will see this thing thru to the end. if i had any juice i would have been a buyer yesterday/today....unfortunatly i spent it all on cold women and hot beer.. :)

i would like to see some stronger language from ven on the permit but i understand they cant say "the permit will be granted by xxx date" until after the deal is done...

the next thing will be the MOC percentages....what type of changes will ven make to the contract regarding gold sales etc....lots of variables here but i still think this deal makes the most sense. strong backer with $$$ and political clout...
