Hey, Sculpin, you replied to my post a few days back with regards to peer comparisons with the following:

"You can,t use small miners/explo,s as a comparison to us with a couple million ounces, or the bigger ones for that manner. We do not mine and have no intentions of it, we prove up and sell, thats the difference."

The post implied that not intending to mine was a positive: we don't waste our time trying to mine, we simply prove up, sell and move on.

I was going to suggest that moving forward toward mining--if viable--is less risky than waiting for an offer because what if an offer doesn't come? If the offer comes, great, but if not, at least you're moving forward. Then you posted this:

Which contains this:

"Ecclestone expected 10 to 12 deals to take place during the year, stressing that companies would prefer to target producing juniors, rather than companies sitting on nonproducing deposits."
