Thanks for lending some insight...I too am more familiar with the Quebec mining laws oddly enough. I was getting my numbers .....no, not from where you're thinking...but from this site:

But to be honest, I only skimmed through the paragraphs.

Now, is there any reasons for/against Sage to want to be classified as a miner? Still too early in the game? And what about processing the ore, any way around that, third-party, arms-length type stuff?

I mean, we've been waiting for something positive to move us along for quite a while...I certainly think the timing would be good to go from an explorer to a producer, however inauspicious a beginning it might have been. If the gold gurus are even halfway close to their predictions, we could see a real surge in prices soon...so why not pull some out of the ground instead of just trying to convince folks we actually have it?

Even the bigwigs circling ever closer and closer to the BGGC has got me wondering...are they positioning themselves in the summer doldrums before the rest of the market catches on?

I'm pleased Sage is making progress, at any rate.
