fabi You're right. This won't work without cheap power. "Without cheap energy supply, Tami Mosi is worth nothing and will stay a sceculative invest." as you say.
Fortunately, MOR will have just that. Cheap energy supply in coal gasification and plant design that maximizes energy use. A pre feasibility is being developed at this very moment. Once it's out and demonstrates the investment potential of Tami Mosi we SHOULD see a satisfying bump up in SP. The technical advisory committee comes on board as directors, we see a PP to pay for drilling to take the 43-101 status to indicated. A combination of a PP and loans secured and the mill/plant (whatever you want to call it) starts construction. Production by 2016
fabi - you say it won't work. Below are some of the people who believe it will. We can see their qualifications and their backgrounds. We know who they are.
What are you're qualifications and what is your background ? Who are you ? Hmmm ?
