geo,
On the Xstate /Elle deal,
On LBSU's last 10Q(filed6/16) it shows they are burning about 600K in the 1/31 to 4/30 quarter, and still had $1,430,000 left in assets which has to be mostly cash as they are not purchasing anything. Just paying as they go for drilling & assaying. At that rate they should make it into the Nov./Jan. quarter.
I would think if they couldn't hit anything by then they might consider it a no go.
