RE: share pricecan't do both. buy back is the better option. due to the number of shares i have i would love to see a dividend but i would much rather see this company grow and see the stock value increase. only way to do that is create value so that the shorts, weak hands and manipulators don't control our share price. nothing wrong with picking up good properties and options that other jr's can' afford to work. it adds value. just need to be careful regarding the geopolitical locations. example - the last deal, although further north and indepent from Tulawaka could turn out to be a good one as there is already significant potential for ounces.
