vino - not sure what you have in mind in terms of strategic alliances. They seem well positioned with Newmont and I think that is probably the most important relationship. They don't need cash any time soon but developing relationships with hedge funds and analysts is a good idea, for sure. If they like the story, they will have to buy the stock in the market, but if they do well with it (and I expect they will) they will be lining up around the block if EVG ever needs to go back to the well as there may not be many opportunities to buy large chunks of this stock at a fixed price.

Where is plums? I think we need another NR to bring him out of the woodwork!
