Look, the way I see it, TON has to pick a direction and stick with it, the simpler the better.

TOO much fanfare was made with the Chinese JV whilst they (I reckon) tried to keep their options "open". Now open options (I reckon) was the right way to go, but, BUT you can't have it both ways.

So by going so public with Chi "JVs" , they painted 'emselves into a corner and were left holding the paint brush in the nude . And seriously who wants to "court" a cornered nudist with a paint brush ?

(Apologies for sid's dumb simpleton cowboy logic, but I hope you get where I'm coming from.)

So ok, these new Exec. cats are up for bat. They have, apparently, industry background.

So get back to basics. Prove up resource. BFS / DFS , THEN start courting suitors.

Too much "schmoozing" around the globe, too many 3rd parties, too many snouts in the trough, for sid's liking.

*IF* the deposit(s) are ridgy didge, the right deals will come into play sure enough. But this is 2015, you CANNOT build anything on nearologies or just saying the "biggest", that went out in 2008.
