Really not sure what people are complaining about, these are buys not sells. We were in need of money and a partner, what were management supposed to do, jump into bed with a smart local business man or go on our hands and knees to the likes of Blackrock. Ross could take his interest payments and spend them elsewhere, right now he is investing in LOM as are others. (I haven't gone back to check but I think he did lose out on the Merlin dilution).

It's been extremely quite of late, no big stones and no progress report on bulk sampling which I thought we might see by now. These buys would indicate there is nothing of importance to be announced imminently. The optimist in me wonders if these buys are a Hold On To Your Hats moment without saying so or is that just wishful thinking.
