My thoughts exactly.
If there is not another bid then there has been a serious bid of criminal collusion going on. Then again how would this really benefit a Newmont or a Barrick. It wouldn't.
There are not just 2 potential bidders out there, more like a dozen.
Remember the NY Times article several months back. Several of the majors admitted in writing that they are more than interested. So now that the a mining law that meets international standards is around the corner and the Aurelian share price is lower than low are they not bidding......yet.
Makes zero sense.
