RE:permitsI dislike waiting also, but I am sure that Steve Twyerould is advancing the permits as fast as conservatively possible i.e. highest priority goes to making sure everything is perfect and that the permits are issued.
I feel that Steve, with so much skin in the game, is making sure the project succeeds, even if the extra caution takes away some of the profit. That is why MIN would always issue stock and not borrow money, even though we all knew MIN stock was worth more than the price paid for it, regardless of what the current market price was.
This is why I am comfortable being all in - careful conservative management ensuring the great project succeeds - no unnecessary risks for the sake of greed.
