If you don't mind my interjection here, I don't see that an updated report from SRK will make any difference. We all know what it will conclude/recommend, and so do our potential JV partners. Any delay in issuance of the report, therefore, is not complicating the steps required to conclude a deal - in my opinion, anyway.

If anything is getting in the way here, I think we have to look at the continuing deterioration in the junior resources market. Meanwhile, JB & the rest of the BOD, I'm sure, are doing the best they can under the circumstances.
