"...we are shooting for financing of the $6.1 for the estimated first year drill program to keep costs low and retain potential funders." [Emphasis added.]

This suggest to me that Indian or Chinese investors are ready and willing to come in here for that amount of money, subject to final reports, permits, and once underway will be subject to on-going drilling results. So, and in my opinion, the money/partnership is not a worry, neither are all of the other steps toward mounting the drilling program. We are on out way!
