RE: FNV bid?" You could be right, and that makes some sense. It's also true that SSTis about 50/50% gold/silver right now, so the same thing could besaid--in reverse--about FNV having an interest in SST. I think eitherone of these companies could buy SST for its gold OR silver stream atthis point, and simply hang on to the rest (or, vend them out, maybeeven to each other?) because they have added value. "
It is always worth it when you listen to a conference call.
When asked if SLW would be willing to sell the gold stream to, for example, Gold Wheaton, Peter Barnes said they will keep it.
Not sure, but maybe it would be somewhat difficult to split the Minto contract in two different contracts and sell the gold to someone else.
My sense is SLW would have preferred to buy an all silver company, but nothing is exactly as you would like it to be.
I hope that shareholders will keep their eyes on the ball and understand we should command a better valuation when compared to SLW. We are now at higher price levels, and the temptation to be satisfied with the SLW offer can be high but, believe me, this company is worth more, much more.
