RE:MusingWell it's good news either way. Could be just an investment opportunity for them and they recognize that Snowline is very undervalued for the huge resource of gold at Valley and the potential for more similar discoveries is very high. I do believe Clive Johnson was CEO of Bema way back in the day about 20 plus years ago. They had joint control 51% /49% with Arizona Star on a huge copper gold deposit in Chile if I remember correctly so he is no stranger to the joint venture deals. So possibly he wants B2Gold to increase ownership in this project to do a joint venture type of arrangement. Personally I'm not a fan of that and I hope Snowline just continues doing what they are best at and make more discoveries and sell the entire company to the highest bidder.
