State PartnerNo...I guess anythings possible but very unlikely...Governments are too controlling and not good business partners in any business dealings. The Government of Saskachewan has already given very favorable tax guidelines and seem to be in favor of a Diamond Mine. But I highly doubt these guys are going to give away all this to any government entity. Even if there is no white knight, we will sit for many years to come with the hopes of a secret admirer. Plus...they(govt) probably wouldn't ever want to be involved with all the leagalities and guidelines. But Shore has a MVP, Eric Cline..Eric Cline is a very influential and an important ingredient to any deal forthcoming. Forget what we think of Mcneil ...facts are facts...they have the goods. Some entity will want this property regardless of Shore and its staff. But as for a government partnership, forget it. The government is a great ally but is always a horrible partner....BHP is my hope...soon...while Diamonds are lofty!!!!
