Mikeiann makes and interesting point when it comes to Russia.
Little story: .........Siberia is cold. Engines won't start there as batteries lose efficiency the colder it gets, to the point where they produce no power. Pre WWII Russian engineers came up with a way to start aircraft engines in -60 degree weather by using compressed air as a starter. They would inject compressed air into the cylinders to drive the motor. as the motor reached a certain RPM they hit the ignition and the engine would fire. To start a motor all you need is a scuba tank!..... Easy!...... or is it?.....come up with that idea!
What I'm trying to say is that this type of resource (hydraulic Fracturing) exists in abundance in Russia. A country with many parallels to Canada including geology. There must be Russian Geologists and mining experts who could provide us with useful insight and modeling parameters. They may even have an "out-of-the-box" way of looking at proving up such an exploration model.
Has the company considered looking to the vagaries of the Russian continent for expertise in this type of trend. Could we find the Russian equivalent to Jim Tilsley who actually understands "tilsleyspeak", but has been through the process from exploration to mine production?
Just an adjunct to Mike's thoughts. Any experts on Russian Geologists out there?
