cause of the delay, page-2

Thanks for your posts SB. This thread gets deathly quiet at times. I thought I had a reasonable relationship with MH but my last few phone calls and emails have gone unanswered. Not being in the top twenty shareholders I may not be a heavy enough hitter for him to worry about.

I was unaware of the royalaties attached to some of the older leases and the delay they had been causing. Lets hope the lawyers can sort it out and a "near term" solution found. Are you confident the price has been struck and as you say, it is just the "i"s to be dotted and the "t"s crossed?

Do you have any thoughts about the coal in Alaska that could be exploited while the Hansen 2 project is bedded down. There was no mention of it in the last Quarterly.

Cheers,
Stump.
