Hansix, this is the "challenging time" that DW spoke of. My confidence is raised when I see Interinvest buying and buying...and yet no matter how much gold we are sitting on...we are at the mercy of the "administrative" aspect of making things happen.

We have a number of groups on board that have "party status". They will all no doubt have concerns (in addition to the ones already being addressed in EA0809-003)

Having a glowing Feasibility Study may not be enough to clinch success and there is no guarantee we won't be exactly where we are now 7 years from now as we were 7 years ago:

Tyhee Public Registry

Tyhee has made great strides to make sure they are compliant with cleanup of previous messes, proper water licences, Environmental Assessments, and to include all locals and indigenous peoples as things progress. I don't have a warm and fuzzy that they will all line up and say "where do I sign?". Each have their own responsibilities and obligations to their own groups and interests. Having a glowing "Feasibility Study" may actually give them more clout in their demands because now there is more at stake for them to benefit. If this was just a matter of Tyhee and Interinvest sitting at a table to just shake hands and say "Deal" it would be so sweet. We have many more players than that though, as we are well aware of.

I live in a city that borders on two provinces (Quebec and Ontario). We need a new (extra) bridge to traverse between the two...badly!! I have lived here over 35 years and that bridge is no closer today than it was 35 years ago. We have two provincial governments, two municipal governments, a federal government and within those groups a whole bunch of people with ego's and self serving interests that change with every new election. Every study in the book has been done and redone. I doubt I will see that bridge in this lifetime.

So yes, I do get a bit jaded when I see progress that takes forever and at the end of the day looks not much different that when it all started.

What do the guys from Missouri say?: Show me.
