How would they know ? Good question Gman2. How have the known anything about any of their "projects" or great deals. They certainly never bother to find out but they are good at the hype to suggest that they have got the best deal of a century.
Have a look at every announcement where they have indicated that they have managed to get a new project. Look at the amount of hype sauce they pour over the project to whet the ordinary shareholder/punter's appetite. What then happens to it ? South American Tin.....Milestone Sports........Laverton..........Bonaparte..........Back to Bolivia again...........Cobalt and Scandium (Husky and Malamute) drill programme....oh hang about ...no not just now.
There is never any outcome because they have no intention to ever actually mine...well certainly not any physical resource.
