RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Paul talks MMC and RIOTwo figures to keep in mind here: 2,500 & 21mm
I don't think at $2,500 gold with 21mm ounces, the gold majors wouldn't be interested. We have one of the largest stores of gold on planet earth.
Let NEM chase Newcrest if they want. We aren't going anywhere.
Even if NEM doesn't end up with Casino, an ounce of gold is an ounce of gold regardless of whose hand it is being held in. My bet is still that NEM will be in the bidding for Casino, it is only a perfect and natural fit. If I know that, then certainly the acqusitions team at NEM knows that also!!
