RE: RE: RE: The agreement was reached"looks like Silver Wheaton will see how the permitting process goes before entering into a deal. "
The PFS may have been the main holdup. Until that was completed, neither AUN or SLW knew with certainty what the start-up costs for Shafter would be. After mattbigham's post I read the news release about the deal that SLW did with Alexco and their mine seems like a very close comparison to what AUN has in Shafter. Part of the SLW/Alexco deal had provisions for releasing money at certain intervals based on successfully completing the permitting process. With the Shafter PFS now out, I think we could see a deal pretty soon.
