"Others are being more subtle but when you here rumours about certain companies, they are assessing what to do with the resource. They can't afford to be like the dog who was chasing the bus and when he caught it wondered what the hell he was going to do with it."

....which is why it makes sense to buy in as Cliff did with as flexible and low cost a relationship as you can garner, so as to drop the deal if it isn't panning out.... or rather, can't figure out what to do with it.:) This way you can get first crack at it if you are able to figure out what to do with all of that ore. My guess, however, is that it's already been figured out, but no one is going to make big waves about it until they carve out their piece of the action. Nemis said they were swimming around a long time ago so the homework they've done since then probably incorporates an entire plan. A find like this is a no brainer for recognizing it's significance. There is enough publications outlining what Cr significance is to say nothing of it's deemed strategic importance as stated by the defense department. Preliminary costs have likely already been worked out. If our posters have already gone to work on road/rail, smelter, pelletizing and other ancillary costs, you can bet that the people who are hired to do this daily have it already in hand. If we are not in serious talks already with major interest, then it will likely be a game of chicken.... who flinches first in this economic time? If R.N. already had offers on just the nickel, it would seem more than likely that they've also had some numbers tossed their way with the consideration of the new Cr interests. Most of the above is, again, my supposition.
