And we haven't looked for it.
Yeah, we haven't.
It's kind of hard to find.
Yeah, well, it's hard to find in, like, high concentrations that are mineable, which we're trying to kind of, like, drop the percentage requirement that makes something economical.
But it's also, there's just a lot of, like, kind of, like, permitting burden to be able to actually go and deploy drill rigs to go and actually explore.
And then...
There's definitely a, the government currently is doing a good job of kind of highlighting the importance of the minerals industry.
And you're definitely seeing like a little bit of a tone shift over the last 20 years that is much more supportive.
There's way more tailwinds when it comes to kind of like making mining possible.
be viewed in a more positive light and a critical light.
And that will help to solve some of the talent pool problem where people that are awesome, they want to go build things.
They don't want to go and work on a project that kind of sits around for five years and maybe gets permitted and maybe doesn't.
They want to go work on hard problems where they can see the impact of the work that they're doing.
And so if we're getting in the way of
of enabling projects to get built, like, that is actually a major deterrent for talent because they won't actually see what their, like, the, like, output of their, of their, of their work.
And then I, you know, I think the permitting requirements broadly for going from a discovery to a, to an operating asset is,
There should be a big focus on kind of efficiency in reviewing environmental permits.
There should be a big focus on kind of like streamlining those workflows and the back and forth between kind of like field offices and state offices from the BLM, just focusing on the federal side of things.
Because the way that projects get permitted right now is you'll throw like your environmental assessment over the table.
And then they'll go and they'll divvy it up between a whole bunch of experts that they are like kind of consultants that they bring in to review the permit.
