RE:What if we dont want to be part of the gold company?From a company strategy standpoint to increase the value of both businesses management is doing what they need to do; separate the businesses. How many gold miners are also manufacturing silicon and vice versa. As a shareholder that is in my interest also. If you really believe the value of your total investment will decrease after the gold properties are spun off why not sell now and buy back in later? Cheers, Nap
