Well Yahh... If your going to buy a property take some core samples and send them to the lab to prove to your partners your not "salting the mine". That is not the same as a geologist taking control of a drill core when it is fresh out of the pipe...
We know there is a deposit, now the big money wants to know how big the deposit is, what is the mine life, and what is the payoff period.
The big money would want it to be publicly traded so there is a sense of value in their holdings.
