Junebug, we can only speculate on what Hamberlinmark was saying.  However, we do know that Hollund acquired or won their concession by beating out some other group because this was stated in their press release.  We also know that Bayano Lake Wood Products is a combination of Hollund and some locals who also wanted this concession.  So if one reads between the lines, Hollund's "partners" may be the original group who tried and failed to make a go of this concession.


As for the road, I am not sure.  Perhaps some type of road or trail was already built, and Hollund improved it to handle heavier loads.  Of course, if a road was already built, then why couldn't Hollund show pictures of at least this one attribute when investors asked for pictures?
