reply from President of Sparton Lee Barker on ELD takeover"Thanks--this is a good idea but I don't think its something Eldorado would consider --they only have to buy the 25% --for cash plus the royalty-
its of course an option but I doubt they would consider it unless they did a careful analysis of our company and not just the Bruell property.
If gold prices stay up hopefully they will buy us out -- late June is their decision deadline -L"
