not too long now

I know I have been consistently optomistic in the past and things have taken a lot longer than I expected but I think we are very close now.
My scuttlebut is that shipping large volumes from Skardon is not going to be a problem and that a good price for shipping should be offered to us next week. This will enable us to go to Japan and close the deal on the large order at a very profitable price. (my guess ~ $10m pa)
Perth is looking very good; one company wants a big order already. They should have enough Kaolin for mill plant samples for 2 large companies in about 6 weeks. Soon after we would receive firm orders then we can raise project finance and build the plant in about 6 months. My guess is Perth will be up and running and very profitable in March 07.
