RE:Bidders?Catsafterme, I think you are absolutely right! We keep talking about buyouts, but I don't think it will happen for MPV, except for (maybe) De Beers. Although I think that possibility is unlikely too. Dominion, for one, does not want to be a minority partner in northern Canada with any other company. The only reason they are a 40% partner with Rio Tinto at Diavik is because Dominion was the small diamond exploration company Aber Resources when the deal with Rio Tinto was made in the 1990s. Dominion tried to buy out Rio Tinto's interest in Diavik, with no success. By the way, Rio Tinto just reported great earnings, nice performance with their Diavik operation, and an increase in their dividend. De Beers also reported a good performance. Everything is coming together with Canada's diamond operations. An now Mountain Province is poised to make a big move up !!!
