RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Not badMetal, you keep bringing up the point that IF a deal isn't ultimately stuck that WRN is worthless moose pasture. How many gold projects worldwide have more delineated gold ounces in the ground than does WRN.
If a suitor wanted to walk away from WRN, there are maybe one or two other options of comparable size maybe? The truth is, the majors need WRN more than we need them. WRN's pipeline isn't running dry, quite the opposite actually: the longer this sits on the market, the more ounces it grows and the more attractive it gets. WRN has the upper hand, however, it appears that both parties are going to work amicably with each other so that all stakeholders benefit.
Do you really think that WRN would work with RIO if they came through the front door with a take it or leave it type attitude? Would you walk into a car dealership and snarkily announce to the salesman that you'll give him $10,000 for the new $60,000 Mercedes and if he doesn't like it he'll just have to attempt to get as much from the local junk yard for it as possible?
Sometimes I think you are in a completely alternate reality than the rest of us are.
