I found this quote very interesting, in the sense that Patrick thinks that the spreading of the Risks over the globe thru Kinross is a good idea for us ARU investors for the future...

He might be right about this...especially if Kinross soars because of its acquistion of ARU...

Patrick F.N. Anderson, Aurelian President and CEO said, "The combination of Aurelian and Kinross illustrates our commitment to responsible development at Fruta del Norte as well as to the best interests of our investors. In the short-term, Aurelian shareholders will be receiving an attractive premium above current market price. In the long-term, our shareholders will also have the opportunity to participate in Kinross' upside as our Condor Project contributes to Kinross' industry-leading growth plans. We have been impressed by the Kinross team's capabilities and track record in bringing projects into production, particularly their strength in government and community relations. Joining a larger pipeline of development and production projects around the world also benefits Aurelian shareholders through asset diversification and risk mitigation."

Strange Days,

Long for Cash
