What you say RE: MANTIS may well be the case but as I get some time I will try to look into in much much more and confirm or NOT your view. Untill then let's not hit the MANgleTIS too much. Just enough to demonstrate our concern for their Share Holders! So, what happens if MANTIS GOES OUT OF BUSINESS. Do we get back full ownership of the TAMERACK properties back IN OUR SOLE POSSESSION?
