About the JV. When I talked with BR, he indicated that the JV is still on and the old gold/solver deposit assessement report looks fine too. That means rrm's valuation caculation is accurate. He gave me the impression that he reads the BB board also. I asked about rrm's calculation and he said it is in the ball park.
The problem with JV is that since Doug is a company officer now and they can't close the deal before recertify the deposit # with NASDAQ.
