"Isn't this the first time we've heard mention of partnerships, etc?"-Makemyday21
I'll answer that in one word, ALMOST.
At the end of Webb's last interview with Jim Puplava he mentioned that if the market didn't adequately value Tyhee, then there are companies that would.
Otherwise, Webb in his emails to me, and I'm sure to others as well, has never discounted the option of a Joint Venture or some other sort of partnership, should it make sense for Tyhee.
Baires.
