RE: We're down to the last weekWell I do think Newmont is definetly out of the picture for sure. Reading their MD & A from their 2009 Annual report it is obvious that they are not keen on the project and are concentrating their efforts on other areas. The impairment charge they took last year is a very worrying indication that this project may not be economicaly feasible. Now I hope on that front that I am very wrong. But you have to be afraid when one of the bigger players in the industries and JV partner is bearish on the project economics. Now I dont think big players like Newmont are wrong very often and you have to give the impairment charge taken credibility.
Hopefully there is an Angel out there that believes this project is still feasible in the long run. However given the uncertainty right now in the economy you cannot discount that this project may no longer be feasible.
