They seemed pretty confident (well their MD did) with his gold mine at IDC also, which ended up dead in the water after masses of $$$ spent and a lot of hot air. i.e. they can continue to be "confident" all they like, but I will continue to be ultra sceptical until I see the proof in the pudding. IMO it's all hot air until they deliver (if even possible) a viable, reliable commercially-scalable processing solution. ...and yeah, a buyout by someone competent is a more likely outcome, imo.
