Very good Junebug, but I also left a lot of stuff out i.e., share reductions and new business dealings.  Remember what Integracer02 posted about the company that preceded HIMR in a partnership with NorthCal?  I don't know all the details of that company or its share structure, but this current relationship between HIMR and NorthCal could be even more lucrative.  However, one should never count their chickens before they are hatched.  Lots of news coming, and we do not know what will or will not come to fruition.
