"What do you want him to do, announce some mega offtake deal that he's pulled out of thin air?"

No. Actually I'm expecting a deal because he stated in the NT News that " we're looking at starting mining in the first quarter of next year."

Now before they start mining surely they'd have to have a buyer to sell our ore to ... or are they just going to stockpile it and make no $$$$?

So if BC intends mining in the very near future a deal must be close ... yes?

"But without a firm buyer, Brett Clark can't pull a deal out of his backside and announce it to the market and keep all of us happy."

I should hope not, that would be rather unhygienic.
