For what it's worthJoe Marzandur said at PDAC that SSO is not even a silver company anymore-mostly gold oriented now.
Also, some of the bloggers at Seeking Alpha seem to think that SSO may want to be much less involved in Lain America going forward, as they have sold off 4-5 properties there in the last 6 months, including a couple of large ones. Claude of course was in Canada.
I guess we'll know in 2 weeks.
But, that may explain the delay in agreeing or not with GA.
Do they want to leave an an experienced operating mill, and millions of $'s spent on development of resources, or recommit to Latin America in general, and Argentina specifically?
No doubt, there are proponents of both sides in SSO management.
