Thanks for your comments. My thoughts go back to when many potential investors were trying to evaluate mining companies for their inherent value. Time and time again, their major complaint was that the multitude of different assets/properties of a company, meaning range of commodities being sought/owned, made it almost impossible to figure out just what these companies were. Hence, companies attempted to rearrange/realign/ focus their property portfolios so that they could be considered a "pure Au or Cu or Ni play" and more easily understood. This attempt at "consolidation" has proven beneficial to the companies from an investor point of view.
