i agree with you on all points except one -- i don't think HDI will be our partner in anything. they've had their shot at it and we got low-balled. if anyone knew the potential of BCSP it was HDI/NAK. they didn't need SRK to tell them what's in those claims.
so the market will produce a superior offer and leave HDI with their single pebble while we go after many of them.
the only situation i could see where HDI does move forward with us is if they get more realistic about the situation and offer more $$ over a shorter time frame, and with a 50/50 split. jmho.
