Ann: Third Round of Funds Received for Riqueza, page-19

Hi Allens,
Re "River its Rio in Spanish" - I think WE is making a poker reference in that he is saying that S32 aren't going to go "all in" on this project until all the cards are face-up on the table (ie they want drill results before they go big, but will put in enough for now to stay in the game). The last card revealed by the dealer before everyone who is still in tha poker hand makes their final bets is called the "river" - the origin of this is obscure but could be related to early high-stakes poker games being played on steamboats and cheats finding themselves evicted into the said "river" when caught out (+/- being shot first...)
A decent analogy but lost amongst the non-gamblers that we are - right?
