"regardless of the ownership split, we are all in the same boat now. So, should not the oz price be exactly the same as the cad price? Should markets not move towards equilibrium?"

~ to be quite honest eddie,
it has been a bit of a mystery since inception regarding just how the 60/40 split was to be attained regarding the shares involved, and it is only in the last few weeks that we have been plotting and reacting to the proposed 60/40 merger on a cap.basis using the yahoo exchange rate as a guide.
perhaps all will be revealed in detail on the 7th.

"The merger between NuStar Mining Corporation Limited and Intrepid Minerals Corporation
was completed on 4 July 2006. The Company has changed its name to Intrepid Mines
Limited with immediate effect.
Intrepid Mines Limited will trade on the Australian Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock
Exchange under the symbol IAU from 7 July 2006."
