I agree Jerry its definitely interesting to listen to both companies talk about strategic corporate opportunities.

To throw it out there, I feel both KXL and SGX as one company might be a pretty good opportunity. The two companies would benefit from many synergies, the biggest being the ability to share geological information to better understand the golden mile (if in fact it does join) in its entirety. This data might be much more benficial as a larger (combined) reserve. Of course I do say all of this with a big assumption, that being that SGX can prove up that not only is there gold on the surface, but also in the drill results. I wonder how Kinross would feel about all of this?

All in all, good to hear the area starting to become active again. ONT had a recent 43-101 resource on their Brookbank property and also is planning more summer drillig, KXL to drill up to 15,000 metres, Sage soon to release drilling announcement and both Premier and Roxmark busy drilling. Even ATV has plans to follow up drilling this year. I guess thats why there's a new lab opening in the area...
