Barrick's deadline is December 29th.Previous posts by others link to an audio interview with CEO James Anderson. I encourage everyone to listen to it. I believe CEO Anderson said in it that we'd hear in 6-8 weeks. I thought Barrick had 90 days, so I wrote him today. He responded quickly & seemed upbeat, just like the interview. Barrick was notified October 1st, & must respond by December 29th. We were notified Oct. 13th.. He made a point of saying they'd "had a great deal of interest from other mining companies that would like to be involved if Barrick chooses not to exercise their option." -Similar to his interview remarks. Remember we're only talking about 40%. Each partner already has 30%. Barrick's option is to take the 40% off the market. I've been buying dips & watch US market in part at OTCQX.com. Good luck.
