If anyone could ever pin down the definitions (time-wise) of near term and mid term, we'd all have a better idea of when the pps may increase in a big way, if it ever happens.
I do find the goal part interesting. Since they have already proven there are minerals and gold being one of them, we must be past near-term. If we are past near turn we must be in mid-term, so the next news should be very interesting.
