Yo Beav,
You're right about the bashers on the SH bb....they weren't paid bashers like at ARU's site...I think they were more on the local "greenie" level...or local Indian activist, but who knows!
I think this news about the Ex-governor joining the FCO board is the best news we could get at this moment! He'll bring this process of getting the permit much faster to a close than anyone else could!
He might even get the U.S. government behind us this mine too! If they didn't know about it before....
Best Regards,
Long for Cash.....And go FCO and ARU!
