Well put TT.
I for one am sick of people telling us that gold is at 2 trillion dollars and ounce with silver at 40 billion per ounce, or whatever. Doesn't matter if you aren't (or can't) take anything to market. By the time SFMI gets anything to market gold and silver will probably have fallen and that will be the reason they didn't get any revenue from it.
By the way, if SFMI got robbed by the smelter dude, have they filed charges? Oh gosh, I forgot, they did not have a clue what they sent to the smelter to begin with. I don't think the courts would judge in their favor when all they had for evidence was an assay report from the 1800s.
There's a lot of smart guys on this board, many who know a heck of a lot more about mining than I do. Comments about the long time frame needed to get proper permits from a whole range of state and national agencies (as well as the bird people) clearly indicates we ain't going to be smelting anything real soon. Maybe they'll use the smelting vessel we saw a picture of recently to roast a pig at the BOD meeting, from which all get food poisoning and be too ill to meeting to report to shareholders what happened at the meeting.
I'm from Missouri ... the SHOW ME state.
