Alaska continues to be the leader in responsible resource extraction! Wish the NGOs would realize that.

I for one am even more concerned about getting needed permits in place asap, in case the political winds change, than future gold price declines which I suspect will be short lived. So, good move. I trust these gents to allocate capital wisely.

There's development work, and just to put some numbers around this, I think I've heard some questions about that too, so two years, we want to get the it's basically a $50 million program, $25 million to do all the drilling and a feasibility-level mine plan, transportation plan, and then once you sort of make that mine decision, putting the mine into production it's not just traditional, because, again, it's this DSO model, so we're not building a mill and a tailing facility and a power plant and all that, pretty fairly simple I call it feasibility light. But the key thing is, where is this going to go? So once we have all that set in place, we would get we'd spend another $25 million getting the development ramps in place, stoke development plan in place, and that's about another $25 million. So and, again, these are estimates, and, we'll hard-code these numbers once we have the contracts in place and things like that, but this two years is a very realistic timeframe. And, again, you have to consider or keep in mind that Lucky Shot is fully permitted for mining. So we put rocks in a box, we don't really need any more permits, and keep in mind, we've got the rail there, so that definitely simplifies the transportation aspect of our project. We're 20 miles from the railhead. The Alaska Railroad is a state-owned business, and they'd love nothing more than to have a bunch of boxes full of Lucky Shot ore going north or south. They don't care. Yeah, I think it was actually a conversation with you and Byron King. You said there's a lot of things that are sexy, visible gold's sexy, but a train and a permit is more sexy, so I like that. I'll talk about Johnson Track quickly. I know earlier, just in this event, you said that it's a few years behind, obviously, because it does still have some permitting to go. Realistically, how quickly should investors be looking for you to advance Johnson Track from here? Yeah, we said it's a five-year plan, and I'd say we're into it most â?? a good part of a year now. But so I'll just state with sort of a five-year plan, we have two permitting tracks at Johnson Track. One is focused on what we call the mine, and we have our road access permit, the 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to get to where we have the mine portal site identified. We're working with the state to get state permits to build the tunnel. It's actually an incline, technically, so that the water will drain out. We purposely put it in the hanging wall rocks that are non-acid generating. It's a post-middle, dayside intrusion, so it doesn't have any of the â?? any sulfides or anything to cause acid rock drainage or middle leaching, and we've done that purposely. There is an extra cost to doing it that way, but it's the right way to approach this.
