Hi Charl. I take your point. I'm not suggesting we take a merger at any price, and the longer we can delay it and get some more drill results the better for us. But size matters in the mining world. Particularly in places like the DRC. The more friends you have with clout the better. Merged with AVM (at the right price) we could jointly have a company worth well in excess of $1 billion this time next year. This puts us on the radar world- wide.In regard to exploration potential- AVM have plenty too. Check out their presentation on their website entitled Kinsevere Site Visit September 27,2010. This is all just my take on things.I believe a merger is inevitable. All that remains to be worked out is the terms and the timing, and that will be decided by people with far bigger stakes than us. We just have to hope that it will be equitable to all.
