fisher, i guess if one was to check Ned ( mr. Goodman ) out they would soon see he is a DR. of geology and through his son ( Dundee ) have good control of Sans share float. I guess when your bank is valued at near $ 4 billion and you have 46 % control of the CNQ stock exchange, i would say SKP has one of the Globes heavy weight. I think Dundee through their net work of Global expertise knows exactly what the greens offer hence their offering of cash into the JV partners. I see SKPs CEO Rick Boulay is also a geologist responsible for uncovering Sans riches. I know gold knows no boundaries and i think both sides of the fence will help each other to unlock the greens riches. Just one mans opinion...Feng Shui East West...Traps7
