I'll bet you EE and ES didn't even send an Xmas card to the CEO of Newmont.  Make an effort FFS and call the mining major CEOs and say "Hi, have you heard...and here's why we think its worth X". 

Simply shaking the same hands at the PDAC every year isn't enough outreach!  Obviously!   

There is no way that we wouldn't be getting reasonable offers from majors if they were 'out there' making their case to them.  

I would love to hear what they actually say when their offer is too low.  Like really?  Is all you say "that doesn't represent fair value" and then shut up?   You have to counter with a case on how far off they are and what they are missing...   A convincing case!   I don't think any truely "pro-active" selling of our projects occurs.  Otherwise they would have sold something by now, notwithstanding the poor pitches.

So like YourNadir said (or to the effect of....)  Nothing will get sold until bulldozers are plowing mountains of money at them in a feeding frenzy at the top of the market.   We're not quite there yet.  $6 copper and $2,500 gold will drive them all crazy, IMO.  Hang in there!  IT IS COMING!
