Rennie,

Well said.

As I had finally regained my own perspectives on the news release,one thing is certain to me that there was no bad news in the report but a careful delineation of a situation that is unveiling itself.The compliance and delay to conduct more testings to meet end-user,s specific demands only means much interests are there behind the scene.If you are a potential buyer for a new and special product and the sellers are demanding a hefty sum for it,wouldn't you have done the same thing and ask for all possible assurance for it,s worthiness?That alone may imply that AE is not going for a low ball offer.

The situation with Zen now is much different than the DF deal.During the DF take over battle,bidders were dealing with Nickel---a commodity that,s well defined for it,s use and applications.the same goes for copper in this respect.But the Zenyatta situation is very different and unique here.We are talking about a brand new commodity called"hydrophermal graphite".

i remain long.
