I am still not sure there is anything holding anything back.
People have built up expectations of management. The term thrown around here a lot "under promise and over deliver" springs to mind. Suddenly when a few imaginary timelines are not hit, hot copper and the rest of retail traders go into a spin and panic.
I admit that this is taking longer that I expected too, but in no way am I worried about it. How many updates from the board do we need to be able to sleep at night?? A lot is going on behind the scenes. That is clear! The due dilligence process that our Chinese partners would take before pulling the trigger on these deals would be huge. They are the best in the world at it.

A lot of us claim to be long term holders going forward. Better start thinking like that then.
