RE:RE:RE:RE:Question Cb2,
Also, still expecting a gold and smelter Major to come forward as Partners at Casino, as
I believe the reward of several Partnerships will maximize shareholder value, over a sole Parnership.
I still believe Newmont is in the mix along with other Gold majors that have expressed interest, as they are now sitting on too much cash, it's now time to reinvest and replenish their gold depleted gold inventories.
You do recall Paul stating in one of the Crux interviews, two gold Companies were in talks with WRN, and one of those Companies was Newmont.
I really don't believe Newmont has gone anywhere.
It was Chris who mentioned to me about a year ago that BHP and RT had been in serious talks with WRN. As well, the same Japanese smelter Company has been at the table twice now, with WRN to head up the smelter operations.
IMO, the layout of the conditions in the WRN/RT Agreement tell us there will be additional Companies coming into the mix within the next 18 months. AIMHO.
