Good question!
For me there are so many variables and ifs to consider, its hard to answer.
IF we have a reasonable representation of the giant anomaly with about 6 holes that have long consistant intercepts starting at or near surface, it could come shortly after that. IF we only have so so grades and shorter intercepts, I beleive it could take awhile. I am all over the board with this because of too many ifs, anywhere,s from 1 month to 2 years.
My thoughts on why an offer could come soon would be;
I am kinda thinking that if we have long intercepts out of the anomaly itself at 3 g/t average, that an offer may come pretty quick. I say this because, the longer a major goes without making an offer, the more time Lori has to prove up more and add more to the value of the company. This would limit the chances of the major getting the best deal HE can get and I would think he may feel forced to put in a bid early, or risk having to pay a lot more down the road, if he wants it bad enough.
My thoughts on why an offer may be later;
If we have long intercepts of 1 g/t in the anomaly, there may be a little hesitation to put in a bid. They may want to see the trenching results to get an idea of how much widespread surface gold there is. They may also want to look at some metallurgy before making an offer.
Just my thoughts.
