I agree with you Red regarding the word speculation. That is what I asked for regarding some of the thoughts that the forum might have regarding Kinross. Thank for the response. I had heard that they are a company that can be opportunistic and I honestly do not know at this point in time whether or not their 'presense' [whatever that translates into] means anything or not or if in fact it is a good thing. Originally I thought it was and I still hope so. Actually, at this point in time, we do not even know if they have the inclination or have even taken the time to evaluate Sage.

As far as whether or not Kinross truly has any interest in the GB area as a whole, IMO it is not a 'big if' as you say but I believe it is a given that they would always want to be around something that might have potential and the GB area has that. What they might be waiting for is for that area to develop further. Just another possible thought or viewpoint Red.
