good post Kelsee. Says it all. I also believe it is in the best interests of Cliffs to take us out...at the right price of course. I got this spider sense that something is shaping up and with the immenent release of the 43-101 there will be other majors paying attention. Cliffs is not the only game in town...but they do hold some pretty good cards at the moment. Good luck to all SPQers and hold long...regards, Foghorn
