Hotfire,

I agree this is great news, but disagree with you that we are in the same place as prior to July, but each to their own.

This option deal with X has been a massive noose around AOH necks for the last few years. Yes it provided us with much needed cash at the time, but it has prevented anyone look at us for a t/o or JV through the whole copper price boom of recent years.

We are finally free of it! This is a great day!

As you state we also have an income producing Finland operation, Copper prices at highs, and a few Co. around with cash and deep pockets that might be considering acquisitions ...(read MMG, OZL)

It's been a long ride, but I am very excited about what the near term future holds. I expect we could get a t/o offer, or a JV could be on the cards as well, but all IMO only.

Cheers to all holders and Good Luck!
