Your post makes a lot of sense. Otherwise why would all those banks and brokerage houses tender their shares so quickly. You may have also have noticed that none of them came out with any kind of rationale why they tendered. Dynamic nothing, BMO nothing, TD nothing and especially Sprott nothing.

On top of this, it would explain why the majors didn't bid. They knew the law was going to be acceptable and know look here the only issue that people kept bringing up as to political risk was the WFT and now the deputy minister (not some pundit) comes out (finally!!) and says the WFT will not apply to mining. One of the majors may take out Kinross and had that deal in place all along...wouldn't put it past any of these people. In that event, even if Kinross gets its 90% we could be huge winners.

Also, the 180 days is up around mid October and the miners can legally go back to work with a new mining law in place.

I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories but this may just make a lot of sense.

Hope is far from lost folks. In addition gold is likely to reverse this trend shortly. The US economy is still in deep trouble and that can only help.

Go for a walk, stay the course and do not tender!!!
