i have always been thinking along the lines of your

concept, heloboy. Number crunching would give us

the answer here

also, be mindful an outfit like Barrick has suitable

connections in Russia via Peridasko (sp?) the guy

who was introduced by Munk to Frank Stronach and

his group took a big stake in Magna - those people

will easily know what to do or not do with the

Kupol holdings.. Barrick may well have presold the

Kupol holdings to the Russians

and Mr Slick, ultimately, will get a Sabia package to

complete the theft.. whilst the OSC soundly sleeps

to protect us citing "civil law" for being idle..
