RE:BUYOUT@rectangular - Dev has publicly stated that seven companies have NDA's with FCU and two companies have returned for a second site visit. Maybe those seven companies send representatives to northwestern Saskatchewan regularly and just decided to drop by PLS and kick tires, but to me it suggests theres' good interest in the deposit.
As for a bidding war, it would just depend on the offer. Rio trumped Cameco's low-ball offer for Hathor and withdrew when they felt it was fully valued. If somebody makes a low-ball offer for FCU, you should expect that same narrative.
