Thanks, Rams, it's nice to know others out there have their eye on the prize.

And the timelines will sip to the right, sometimes, and some things will occur ahead of schedule. I think that it clearly shows that the real effor this entire year is the DAR, and getting it right. Adding ounces at Clan Lake will happen too, and progress on other things like financing criteria, key people, negotiating contracts etc.

Much of the requirement for the DAR seems to go hand in hand with the details of the mine plan and the nuts and bolts of the operations of the mine, employment, supplier, contracts, what can come from the local market etc.

One thing that I would like to see is some cutbacks at the diamond mines, a shock to the NWT / YK economy, some fear in the politicians minds. This may help them realize that they need to get behind this project, as when diamonds start to taper out, having employment from Tyhee will be a new life-blood to the community.

As DW is something of a local, I believe he will give the environment and the indigenous peoples due consideration, as well as benefits to the local economy front and centre in the DAR.

Interestingly, the 20 Feb deadline for comments is well before PDAC. Going into PDAC with these requirement in hand may allow a press release before PDAC on the concerted effort on the DAR. THis may start to get some traction in how people look at Tyhee, as a developing gold mine rather than an exploration play.
