Is Chuck that stubborn?that he would squander this resource? There is literally an M&A frenzy going on right now with companies doing just about anything to get ahold of nickel reserves. I find it hard to believe that they have not yet been approached with offers for partnership in Yemen. I hope it's not his ego preventing a deal from taking place, because trying to do this on his own doesn't seem to be working... Oh well, as we wait, the metal bull market continues. Thank god for that, cuz this one aint generating any ROI right now if you know what I mean...
