problem solved Assorted geniuses have suggested that Kinross "write off" the Ecuador mine, Cerro Casale and the Yukon mine. That would make a lot of sense given that there are proven reserves there, Ecuador is making noises that they will sign contracts soon and Cerro Casale is a giant resource and they have a partner. Kinross's problem and one that many saw before the Tasaist deal is that it has become too big too soon and they can't manage the diverse properties effectively. The obvious next move is to sell off some of the properties and reduce debt or buy
back shares.
Perhaps some other company will hire Tye Burt and we can sell him all the properties that he loved so much that he stupidly mortgaged the whole company to feed his ego rather than prudently manage what was a very promising company before he appeared?
So that means we need to find somebody stupider than those presently at Kinross to hire Tye.
