Once they have delivered the first loads and are in full production, I expect contracts will come in fast. After all, projects don't want to be handfcuffed to a contract with HBK and they can't deliver the aggregate in time, delaying their project and costing them money. When HBK delivers and proves they can produce the necessary tonnage of aggregate in a fast and efficient manner, we will see large lines for our product. Of course, at that point, it will cost a premium as demand increases. Always remember, fortune favours thre bold.

Management MUST get this done immediately, in my view.
Who would seriously look at HBK as a major supplier if this was not already in place? You can't expect your business to flourish if a major component to its success does not have all of its permits in place? Any avoidable disruption to a builders necessary supply of our aggregate like permits and the associated red tape MUST be eliminated now.
First:
Get the Life Of Mine Permit in hand for the portion of our property already permitted so we have access to unlimited extraction.
Second:
Produce and deliver to West Fraser on contract.
Addition contracts will soon follow.
As contracts come in, Management needs to be starting work on expanding the permitted area OR having the additional lands permitted for future development.
As cash flow is generated, additional site equipment can be purchased and brought into the production fold to increase output.
I think HBK has a better grasp on the aggregate business than I do BUT from my view, this is how I'd strive to move HBK forward.
I've already bet that they have a very similar "playbook".
