RE: buy out priceGood post. I always remember Olian saying in interviews that he wanted to slowly build true shareholder value rather than raise the share price by hype. But I think he has failed to take advantage of the optimal gold market conditions, especially once the alluvial potential came into play. This company should have been promoted more aggressively this past year, no doubt about it. However, I agree with you that he will allow someone to steal the company. In the end, it is really up to the shareholders, I'm just hoping that there are enough of them (like me) who have invested at $1.50 or above (I'm averaged at $1.85 myself) and will reject low ball offers...
