Ann: In-Fill Drilling Program for Nueva Sabana Copper Mine, page-51

Can you please help me with 2 questions:

1) Why couldn't Brian approach the Cuban government for a bridging loan, just to complete the infill drilling necessary to achieve the offtake deal? He could use a representative amount of AAU's % holding in the venture, as collateral. After all, the Cuban govt has an incentive to see AAU succeed, no? Not possible?

2) Why won't Brian release more details about the prospective offtake partner, or provide evidence of the stage of negotiations, in order to demonstrate to holders we are as close as he says we are to clinching the deal? It would go a long way to help shore up this critical Cash Raise, no?
