RE:Shortcuts! Thanks for the great commentary minepic, I appreciate it and I agree wholeheartedly. The vast connections and resources the Kuhn brings to Temas would benefit EV should a partnership be entered into. I'm hopeful he leverages his resources, and gets us up and mining at warp speed with access to a ton of capital should we need it.
At the same time, if he can pull a few levers and get things going at Pobordje, even better. From everything I have seen and read, it looks like EV has potential to be a real winner and Kuhn's entry into Temas could help that.
My fear with him is solely based on the resume you mentioned.
This guy is the real deal, who has seen and done big deals with big dollars. I fear he looks at EV and says "This is a very small fish in a very large pond. Let's release it for the time being, maybe we catch it again some day when it's a bit bigger but for now, we have bigger fish to catch." Is this a possible scenario? Yes. Is it the most likely? No. But could it still happen? Yes.
I hope that makes sense. I want this to do well for everyone and I hope we get confirmation of Temas DD completion soon, the partnership is entered into and Mr. Kuhn reaches into his bag of tricks to get things rolling even faster. Nothing would make me happier.
