spoke with Bruce I was told that KWG know has 80 % of 50% with Bold holding the remaining 20% . In otherwords KWG owes 40% Bold 10% and FNC 50% of the BH deposit the most important part of the agreement is that KWG is, and will be, the principal operator of the deposit ... with regards to the patent process .. some news should be coming down the pipe shorty informing us as to the results of the testing done to date ... I was also told that the years Moe was refering too was not in proving the process but tweaking the process for additional cost savings, with that being said I would have to agree with MD and Lou that the agreement with the FN is critical for the implementation of any infrastructure, and for the black horse to be put into production.
