Digby......regarding how much pull Kenny M. may or may not have....remember Bennie Steinmetz and his Magma Group are big Shore Gold shareholders also. and they are not chumps. they IMO and with alot of hope will not allow us to get low balled. JMO glty. personally i dont think we'll be bought out and if we are it will not be without allowing us shareholders to participate in some sort of lifetime royalty plan. fingers crossed
