It seems we are collectively holding our breaths waiting for big news. Some may even doubt that the sun will rise tomorrow. After it does, I believe there will be some real relief posted at this site, and like hockey fans, everybody will be on the Tyhee and Dr. Webb band-wagon again.

For those still on board, I believe that Q2 is ending...and Q3 will be quite different. The transition from exclusively exploration to developing an actual mine will be the touchstone for the subsequent quarters. Those who think Dr. Webb is only an exploration geologist will see that he is the CEO of a future producing mine, doing the right things in a sensible sequence of events. We can only guess during the long periods we must endure. At least he can be busy doing what he needs to do.

But what should we see in Q3 as the transition starts? I believe that once it's officially started with appropriate good news on the PA and resource update, and some more drill results, we'll start to see talk of progress on permitting and applications, we'll see some benchmarks and timelines on coming into production in the coming 2 or so years. We'll see that certain critical infrastructure is being identified, purchased, or otherwise locked down for mine construction, and we'll start to see a few new players in the TDC management, who are operators and not explorers.

Some of you have posted that they should have already locked down this equipment. I did not agree then, but that time is coming. Perhaps they already have, and with costs identified, the focus will be on financing.

This week should prove to be our nadir (the lowest point).
