Just getting the last permits, which I still belie

Just getting the last permits, which I still believe is at least several months away, is not the final hurdle. In fact, that will be the easy part. The hard part comes afterwards....actual work. Funding will be the next major hurdle. After that, getting a mine that has sat idle for a decade or more up and running is at least a six month job. Given Rod's inexperience and proven ineptitude, I expect it to take longer. Based on these factors, I expect the s/p to rise much slower than predicted here...perhaps to .02-.03 by mid-2013 and maybe .05 by end of 2013 as production comes closer.
