Plata,
As others here already know, and you possibly realize the same, but you're conversations with the BLM are exactly what we heard. The responses from a certain group of other NW posters, stated the exact opposite and that's why their point of views were not believable as they were falsehoods at every level. And yes, that is exactly why Timberline chose not to continue. And their annual report does reflect the same to a degree as to a need for capital.
