I understand what you are trying to say but can you imagine trying to raise the kind of money this year that they raised at this time last year......???? I don't know if 50million would have been atainable without certain sacrafices.

By the way, Sage has shown that they have a good property next to Kodiak and I do believe that they ARE in the same league, just at different points of their understanding of their property. I do believe that a buy out will eventually come and take them both out as they share IMHO part of the same veins!

So don't be so quick to condem the other plays in the area as whatever each one finds will only add to the bottom line of all of the companies looking for gold in this area! Just sit back like myself and appreciate being fully loaded in both of these companies as well as others and the big guys will eventually look to take the area out as a whole! Cheers!
