Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The government has a team who are doing a number of things; one is doing the pre-engineering and pre-environmental work aimed toward having a project description package put together late this spring. If things look well, it could go forward from there for assessment. At the same time, we also have people who are negotiating with the diamond mining companies about the purchase of the power. Now that isn't firmed up yet, but I can tell you, given the price of fuel and the difficulty in transportation, there is serious interest from the diamond mining side.
