It's funny, because you read the other site on the OK board before the offer and they sound like us here, these comments just yesterday:

''Thanks Silvertrust for update with Gary. The "quiet period" still in affect and can only mean serious negotiation. Unlike the NHL ''

''If we don't get that offer or deal we all want now, .......Lets hope Amec PEA in February says 10 million oz per year''

''could it be that Orko has already agreed to a verbal price but as often happens - its the detail and structuring ( fine print) that hold things up? Patience is a virtue! Cheers. ST.''

'' I agree that there has not been alot of buying interest but certainly there hasn't been much selling interest either as the stock is not heading south in any significant way. Although I agree that in most instances, buyouts are not announced over the holiday period. ''
