Yes, I agree, Baires, people like Dave should be rewarded very well for years of hard work, their knowledge base, market value of their skills, leadership (and I am thinking of his recent interview on BNN, where he demonstrated great professionalism), and character and perseverance in the face of great difficulties and opportunistic opposition, such as you mention - Puplava.

You say his family has suffered because of his commitment, I trust that all is well there and that there will be compensation for them as well through his success in bringing this project home.

I am always aware that the test for all this is success, and despite the doubters we encounter on this forum, I am a believer that this project has everything in place to succeed. Patience. Ike
