I encourage anyone interested in the Mt. Emmons issue to attend Roger Flynn's talk at the HCCA annual meeting. He has been involved in mining issues throughout the western United States and is a great resource for questions and thoughts. I'll also be available for questions and conversations about Red Lady.
