USD is toast and KLDX will benefitJin,
Your short term financial pain is clouding your judgement. Say no to a buyout. Dollar is on its way to getting smashed. Take a look at chart:

There is an inverse relationship between dollar and gold price. This big move in gold futures is due to the faliing dollar. We are breaking a major support level. I expect another $100 plus dollars higher per ounce on this move over the next couple of months. There are so many reasons why the dollar is going down and I am not going to expound here. Once we break $1,400 we will sail past it but another $30 or $50 bucks in days.
Lets just put this in KLDX terms:
I believe "All In" Costs for KLDX with remaining 3 mines will be between $1,000 and $1,100. lt could be lower than this figure too. Lets say its $1,100 (Q2 2017 was $1,030). I believe the price of gold will average over $1,400 for the duration of the year. That would leave $300 per ounce in EBITDA.
KLDX guidance could be anywhere from 225,000 to 275,000 oz's. Lets go low at 225,000 for 2018. I still can be off on this number but a number close to this is very probable.
$300 x 225,000 = $67,500,000 in EBITDA
Keep in miind I have another job and I am being extremly lazy in my calculations. Anyway you slice it: Price to Sales, EV/EBITDA, DCF, P/E Ratio. This stock is crazy cheap. Why would you ever want to sell at $3 or $4? If gold averaged $1,450 and KLDX pumped out 275,000 oz's
$350 x 275,000 = $96,250,000 in EBITDA
