We know that the mine has provided billions in benefits to the ANCSA's 7 revenue sharing and economic development taxes to the state, pilt to the borough, revenue to Ada, which is then shared back to the state. We did hear from the assembly and from residents that job training and Some benefits, infrastructure benefits for villages is, in the separate villages is really critical to them and to getting support for the project. So we'll be following up with the Bureau and working on, with the communities on ways that we can hit those points and hopefully bring some improvement in. We'd like to get as many people trained up and eligible possible, and there's probably several ways that we can work on village benefits infrastructure funding. All right, thanks.
