RE: Takeover and share holder protectionI agree... this all looks very intriguing especially with the timing of everything. I am very optimistic about the Drilling at Patterson as it looks like they"re onto something BIG here.I've been a LONGTIME shareholder of ESO and this is probably the most excited I've ever been about the possibility of something big happening to the company. On a side note, about the company, does anyone know anything about there sister company Canyon Copper (CNC)? pretty much the same management and it looks like they have 2 huge copper properties in the USA... (saw news from them last week)... Just curious if anyone has any further input in about it.GLTA
