AE has stated he has full control over the stock via insiders, friends and family - simply known as 'strong hands'. Heck, he may consider us to be strong hands.

I think we can now safely say that the reason there were no take out offers was twofold:

(1) from an end use perspective - flow sheet and costs were not known

(2) from a miner's perspective #1 plus they would have to understand the pricing.

I would say this has now been resolved so there should be no obstacles or holdbacks to any negotiations.
