i think Brian was really stating the fact as opposed to hinting.....
provided extrodinary things don't happen with either construction delays or world markets collapsing EVG will have poured its first gold well before the options expire next year & there's no reason at that stage that Las Laugans NPV shouldn't built into the share price & by that stage the market should be adding the value of other projects into the company - Azuay drilling complete & updated resource released.....
Good thing about securing the San Gerado option is the benefits of sharing the process plant & infrastructure with Azuay which inturn should lead to much lower capital injections to bring the resource online (should it be discovered) & the much shorter lead times to get there....
AND yes it is a large land package :-)-)
