Another Thing To ConsiderNote Smash Minerals was not a major gold producer. Everyone here touted how great the Gold Corp & Agnico Eagle deals were. But as you have now seen (as I also posted awhile back) that once you lie down beside a major your company now marches to their drum & not your own beat. Also note the NMiner articles also says that one of the major reasons Smash wanted in with PPG was because of Q. Now EVG doesn't have Q so like it or not many left EVG when he did. You just don't throw a great asset like Q away without negative back lash. Of course IMO only.
