RE:RE:Mr Baker, retiring after 23 years at Hecla
Absoulutely right that's why KH was so important, it had the permiting in place, I took the reasons given and still do with a grain of salt.  :)  I do believe Mr. Baker was under a lot of pressure to produce results todays shareholders want to see immediate action or at least believe they are getting it.  In hindsight Clynt was amazing with the BS (Blue Sky) stuff. :)

That said YTG appears to need a re-think, if they think investors are going to keep sinking hundreds of  millions into mining with the current political environment then they might want to look at current policy.

I was going to go off on a tangent and dissertation about environmentalists but here's the skinny. LOL

IMO Obstructionist environmentalists need to throw away everything they own, take off all their clothes they are wearing and run into the bush, because somewhere in all the stuff they use or own there's mining in the mix and they and lobbyists are certainly not helping solving real issues.

In fact the biggest environmental disruptors are natural,  far beyond anything mining has caused, in fact things such as  asteriod strikes, tectonic plate upheavals, ice ages, volcanic eruptions and the list goes on. We live on a giant dirt ball wobbling through space bombarded by radiation and asteriods, so where's the problem. LOL

Good luck to all and remember to have fun.
