Its nice to see the SP moving up a bit, not sure why that is anyone's guess.

Most likely scenario in the next few months IMHO.

We will see the PEA

We will see a miner take a small stake

ZEN will move into the next phase of mine development

My rational is that at these prices no miner could convince their BOD to buy the company for what it is worth (at least $1B) and the ZEN BOD would have a hard time agreeing to a price below that knowing what they know. Regardless I think there will be miners interested enough to cough up the cost of admission which at these prices even with a premium would still likely only be $15 to $20 millon for a 10% stake. This would give ZEN lots of runway to continue developing both the mine and the customer base and would be a win win for the miner. Low risk with the potential for very high return either on a sale or takeover and operation.

Just my thoughts
