Iamgold getting slammed today....
It is down over 10%. It did not meet its production goals for 2012 and I just read a Credit Suisse report saying that their cost per ounce will be $850 to $925 well above (36%) CS's estimate of $652 per ounce. They are apparently in need of some lower cost ounces. TGZ and OLE will probably show a cost of something around $600 to $650 per ounce. IAG can easily buy them both and reduce their cost substantially and give a huge boost to their production targets. Remember they own 12% of OLE which gives them a huge advantage over other bidders. They must be one of the interested parties because of what I mentioned above and their large investmnet and interest in the company. Comments?

Hey Arlene, I just checked on Yahoo finance and as of Sept 30th 2012 they (IAG) had $916.5 million in cash. They can easily do a cash and stock deal.

Tony---How about $700 million for OLE and $900 million for TGZ ......1/3 cash and 2/3 stock....
