RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Gold is up!and if gold price stays up, a high grade tier 1 asset with very low aisc would be very valuable. miners can't find these large high grade deposits anymore.
an option is a positive not a negative. it is a company choice. if the gold price is low they don't need to exercise that option. if the gold price is high and they get permit, they exercise that option.
a free option is good.
if somebody gives you a free 3 year option to buy gold at $1600, you can turn that into a big profit or let it expire without costing you anything.
