RE:RE:RE:RE:Just received message from Paul re MCPappy,
Thanx for responding. I loved your "common sense" answer. Yes, those are things we need to keep in mind, about Tom Palmer at Newmont and about First Nation. I think all of us on this board wish that Tom P would get involved, and I think that he will eventually. He's holding his cards close to his chest, waiting for the right moment. I do not think Mark Briscoe at Barrick will get involved, as he has stated several times that projects like ours do not pass their stringent qualifications - capex is too large and Cu concentration is too low ( in their opinion). But, I still have hopes that BHP may get involved. Paul made a cryptic comment in one of his interviews quite a few months ago that we should not count BHP totally out of the picture, and he followed that with a comment half under his breath that "you never know about these big companies - things change whenever they change CEOs". Since Paul worked at BHP some years ago, he probably knows what he is talking about concerning them.
