From what I was told from the director at NRCAN (which was vague) it takes months and money. After that it takes connections for the sales of  gold. Our gold bars need to be shipped to another company for them to furthur refine it for sale grade quality.That is why it is in SGR best interest to sell or merge the company with a bigger fish. Let the big fish take care of the extra processing and sale part while we can explore and feed the mill. It would be a nice trade off. My bet is that we will be sold and not merged but San will keep exploring as that is what they enjoy doing. Who want to deal with Bankers?
