RE:Agnico Eagle buys out Malarctic from Yamana Two comments Steve.....
1) NEM has to have the gold, especially considering they are already starting to build up their presence and plans in the burgeoning Casino Gold District. RIO will make them pay a pretty penny, but we need that competitive tension to keep all parties honest.
2) I am seriously hoping that AEM plays the role of a white knight and rescues us SBB shareholders from what I consider to be a semi-hostile takeover by B2Gold. AEM would be stupid to let B2 right into their backyard via a ridiculously lowball offer on the world class Back River gold district.
