OK some possibilities posted, how about this one. Nick Mather has kept his word, from when he took control. He promised max shareholder value, and he said Solgold is only for sale at full value. We have financing of 100 million dollars for 1% of smelter on Alpala, this goes to 150 million at 1.5%. We don't require any shareholder dilution. If offtake is valued at 100 million for 1% return at Alpala, with the PEA, does the value increase with the PFS. Even if it doesn't, can we attract the extra 2.7 billion at the same rate, thus we give up 28.5% of Alpala, for the construction of our mine. Job done. This means we own over 50% of a world class asset, with zero debt, just income. For me this is a much better solution, than continuous erosion of the value of our shares. Maybe we will get an offer, but I don't think so for all the reasons I have previously given. NM is firmly in control of our destiny. One thing that has changed, is that many posters did not believe that Solgold would obtain the money, to go it alone. I believe we now see they can.
