Remember the recent world junior hockey championship in Helsinki? As a proud Canadian, I hope we do not see a repeat, however, I am concerned about our over confidence. On the other hand, maybe the world (sports or otherwise) is prepared for a major paradigm shift. If so, maybe, just maybe, Kazakhstan will understand the importance of establishing themselves on the world stage, and stop trying to play the role of third world "banditos". Regards. PS Prediction for Friday...Canada-6 Kazakhstan-1.

The Jan 27 release says; "the Company has now received a letter of commitment from Standard Bank London Limited for the provision of project debt financing for the Mizek gold project." That makes it sound so final, such a done deal, that word "commitment". They still have DD to do, right? And Steppe must finish permitting before the deal closes? Is there anything you can tell us about progress on those steps, and can you give us any idea of a timeframe? You do say in post 597 "a minimum of a couple of months". Will there be steps in the process that you can report on here? Reason I ask is that if Standard Bank is in for sure, so am I ..... cheers ..... marcos
