"One thing the Rusoro offer did: Pumped up the sp of both KRY and GRZ."

We can thank them for that. There's nothing the financial world likes better than to read about crazy offers for an entire company, especially one that involves ten million ounces of gold and a billion pounds of copper.

We have to hope that the reserve depleted mining companies out there might even re-think dealing with VZ if they could bid for such huge resources at these kind of lowball bids.
