As a snowbird heading North last week, I drove on I-95 North( west side of Silver City and WEM). I noticed a liitle snow on the mountains: however, I believe it should not prevent SFMI to start surface drilling on WEM before we get our blasting permit(safe house/drill room) and drilling permit for the Sinker Tunnel Project. I don't know if SFMI needs a permit to do surface drilling or is funding still the problem to move forward?? Sure would be nice to know what's going on. So many issues not addressed to the shareholders. Hopefully good news coming this month. Going to give RK a call next week.
