IVN, & ForbesI always enjoy a rational debate. I re-read the Forbes article, the challenges mentioned were transportation, water & power. Regarding no comments to the article on the ETG board, this was a huge topic on IVN's board for many days, lst or 2nd week of Nov., I believe. Many of the same posters on this board weighed in their thoughts there. It was definately lively, LOL.
I also re-listened to the last 2 IVN webcasts, available at www.1234.com, searched Ivanhoe. The lst one addressed all the above issues. Not a great note taker but, referring to key challenges the new head geo. or whatever said hypothetically "sufficient water to run the project". I was wrong in that I missed that he was responding to the question hypotheically instead of fact, big error. He also talked about power, but I missed it. After hearing about transportation, I personally do not see transportation as a problem 50 miles to China, possible or maybe confirmed railway being built and it's not a huge deal if no railway according to RF. Ivanhoe also has several rebutals on their website addressing each inaccurate point on their website.
Regarding my comment on February turning to Spring, to be honest I can't remember where I got that info., except it was on a news release of a company mining in Mongolia. RF has said IVN can drill there all year round, if you believe him. Whatever...
Your comment "availability of equipment and operators is the problem", could you expand on that please. Also, "Tech has been in the wings as a suitor since last year", I haven't heard this anywhere (very interesting).
I enjoy your posts, even if I may not necessarily agree.
Cheers,
