From memory. Noble held these permits as security for their $6.3m loan. Given the amount still owed. It would be reasonable to assume to they have not receive any more ore from KAB.

So it's hard to see Noble coming to any "commercial settlement" with this group given you could well say that they had been "had".

I'd say it's game over! The "group" get to ride off into the sunset. Everyone else is ....#$%@*!

I'm sure in a year over two KAB will be resurrected with a new treasure.
