M&A...
M&A... Given our new senior secured debt deal (and exclusive gold sale agreement) with Waterton and the covenants that go along with it... it would seem very unlikely any other company and/or partner would want or would be able to join forces with or acquire/merge with GGN. Possible sure, but would seem to require Waterton's approval. Same situation is also true for SGN... even moreso now that Waterton bought GPXMs 30% stake in Mineral Ridge earlier this week. BUT... it would seem to be completely possible, plausible and desireable that Waterton could/would encourage and approve M&A between SGN and GGN, given economies and efficiencies that could/would be realized. Maybe they would also approve combination of even more 'similar' Waterton companies in the area (Jipangu?). All of this would seem to make perfect sense and (assuming fair terms) could be to the benefit of shareholders (Waterton included). IMO this would seem to be the only possible way for GGN to expand via M&A anytime in the near-term. Otherwise we plug away heap leaching and drilling... which is fine too.
