RK returned my phone call this morning 930am pst. I gave him my condolences for his loss of his Mother.

I asked him about the status of the mine since many of us are in angst over the lack of updates.

First off, he said he was in Canada for his other company he represents so he is doing some catching up. He said he has a conference call with PQ and others at 2pm. I am assuming within the next 30 minutes.

I asked about the drilling contractor..RK response was.....We are waiting for the blasting permit from the State. I am assuming they have the drilling contractor in place. It's just a matter of getting the blasting permit to make the announcement.

If anyone wants to followed up with RK...be my guest.
