I really hope that most of the Major shareholders and Institutional investors that aren't part of this deal understand exactly what is at stake. I usually hope that these are fairly intelligent people, but after watching BNN at times these fairly intelligent individuals blow me away with their lack of knowlege and blatant stupidity on their comments on different stocks.

ARU is a company maker and there is an incredible amount of upside on this stock. 1.2 billion is a mere pittance for this stock.

Hell Arequipa had only 9 holes back in the mid nineties with gold at a fraction of today's price. with what they thought were 3 million oz's of gold, which turned out to be 10 million + ozs. in the end. They were taken out for a 1 billion.

This makes the 1.2 billion bid for ARU an INSULT of which everyone should be aware. Recommended by the management just rubs salt in the wound.

Put the pressure on all interested parties. Wes
