lar, every challenge presents an opportunity. i'd contact cook myself but my explanation of "there could be a buttload of gold there" probably would'nt carry much weight.

this really seems like a good opportunity to me to try and win over a major player in explorco's and not have to pay much. if you have time please talk to frank and sasha and see if you can get this guy together with tilsley so they can talk "egghead to egghead"....if you can win him over it would pay off imo
