If we didn't drill Ak we would have had two options up there:
1.forfeit ALL the claims to NAK
2.pay the claims rental/maintenance fees without accomplishing anything(including banking away a couple years worth of work affidavits)
I hope we can hang on to our AK claims while NAK does all the political/regulatory work that will determine the future of mining in that district of which we are a part--if they are successful, our holdings meteorically rise...
we all want to see progress in Az--specifically HM as it holds great promise---but I'm glad we're not a one trick pony...HM is not a given as some like to project or that elusive world class ore body that may exist in the Tombstone caldera would have been discovered by now :-)...
we need an Angel-there are no answers/suggestions that a boatload of money wouldn't solve...
