"Engineering can't start until the site is mapped. Apparently they don't have an aerial survey company contracted, much less a firm schedule for the survey and production of maps." Actually, they list both mapping and finding a mapping company as already started. (?)

That whole issue seems rather strange to me. I'm not sure why an aerial map is needed, but if it is, I just got an excellent view of the area on Google earth, which will also provide the exact geo-positioning data on any landmark. I can't imagine why anything better would be needed. Resolution is high level: You can count the trees, clearly see where the chimneys on the houses are located, and recognize the colors and styles of the automobiles in the photographs. Why would one have to wait for a cloudless day to take new aerial photographs of a location already well mapped?

Back2.. I have to give you respect after reading your post of 45 years of experience in engineering and construction. I would ask what type of engineering so I could relate how close it may resemble what is going on here.

I could be wrong, but I think they did start to do the permit process and was told it could happen a lot quicker if they hired an experienced engineering firm. I admitt, I don't know that for a fact, but that's where we're at and I'm glad they did it.

I would also assume that they would just as soon do the permitting thing themselves and save the money if they thought they could do it in a timely period, and thus they decided to anti-up and follow the advise and hired the firm.

I don't think the permits are that big of a deal using someone who knows the in's and out's of the area, and most likely some of the people involved to geterrdone.

The zoning should be a lot easier because they are not doing a rock query type of mining which would involve explosives.
Where did I gain my vast LIMITED knowledge, by speaking with their engineer.

That aside, my bigger problem is understanding what it is we're going after, it's potential and how the equipment/deals fit into the picture.

Does the Dove deal lead to other deals and when all the data is filtered out that deals with this, where should it fit in with the PPS. That's what I want to know.

I'm at about a 8.5 out of 10 with Patience wondering what we have, what to expect, what the relationship with Dove is, how and when it's going to work and what to expect if I hold my shares for the duration. I need to be able to get a handle on these questions so I can decide if it all makes sense to me and many others I brought into this.

I mean if the project is soild and we're talking 2-5 months to see this go anywhere near a run like we've seen with other JR Mining Stocks, I'm all in, but at this point I want them to figure out a way to show me this is what we have, where we're going etc, etc.

They must have some marketing savy and should figure out how to articulate this to the investor community.

I really liked DKGR because they did the meet and greet at the golf tournament, they really did get peoples attention, but now, well maybe I'm just frustrated with wanting more knowledge here and wondering where the agressive marketing seems to have stalled.

They need to make a bold move, maybe take 4-5 investors with video cameras to the property, maybe have the engineer on camera with an update/overview, some type of estimate what the property value is, maybe more events, more investors, especially if they have a newer, brighter, clearer message to get out.

If you got it, show it, or else if you hide it, it may rot.

I know for a fact I wanted to invest in a company that would be agressive, both in projects and in marketing, so if they have the goods then they need to figure out the marketing portion so that we can understand

our position and future, thus rewarding the existing investors, bringing in new investors and enrich the company value/potential.

Bottom Line, wait until late Summer or early Fall for production, ok, if the prize is big enough and if there's
enough other action going on to stablize the PPS, have it even grow during the wait and make this all really real.
Faith is great, but should be saved for Sunday Events.
Here I want to know more and they should figure out how to tell us.

Guess I'm done for now.

Back2, you stated in your post; (I wanted to check zoning requirements, but don't know what County Drake's site is in, so I checked Monroe County, where Harbin is based.)

The county is Haralson. LT
