RE: Public Heel..... If you'll bother to read my posts, I think you will see that I have not been inconsistent. The license for the Gold Standard property came as part of the purchase. You and I and everyone else assumed that Ruby already had that license. If that were not the case, if more than a couple of people had been surprised, then the stock price would have jumped far more than it did. What I've been waiting for - and complaining about - is the license for Mkuvia. You do understand the difference between Mkuvia and Gold Standard, I hope? Mkuvia was the original property. Mkuvia was what the RBYC speculation was built on. Mkuvia was where the sampling was done. What's Gold Standard? It's an adjacent property that Mkuvia got for a song. Why? Why would an experienced operator, who knows far more than you or I, who had machinery on site, had obtained a license, had started work there, sell out so cheaply? Maybe he was wrong to do so. I hope he was. But to assume that he was, to bet a lot of money on that, is simply foolish...... So I come back to Mkuvia's license. For a couple of years now it has been "any time now". Sorry, but I've seen that kind of thing before, from Peru to Romania, and it's a red flag the size of handball court. If Mkuvia (and adjacent properties) are anything like what we hope they are, they are enormously rich, a mini-Witwatersrand, if you will. Why on Earth would Tanzania allow a handful of North American operators to just waltz in and cart away all that gold? Why would Tanzania allow those North Americans any more than just enough to keep them working? Third World countries all over the world have mastered the art of squeezing the golden goose just hard enough to avoid killing it. The putative terms under which Ruby would be mining are just way too generous. Will the Tanzanians wake up and make Ruby pay through official channels (royalties and taxes), or will they want their money under the table? If the latter, then any major gold miner, and any number of amoral and unscrupulous Chinese, have a huge advantage over Ruby...... OK, Jonggua, your turn, now.... :)
