According to the figures given in the article, the insitu value of the gold and silver at Frute Del Norte at todays prices would be $14,668,500,000 (billion). Kinross payed only $1,200,000,000 for it. I can understand why Aurelian shareholders were p'd off.
There is no way that deal was in their (shareholders) interests. Even at 2008 metal prices it was still way off.
I personally think we are being led down the 'garden path' by the same architects of that deal.
OK. Aurelian SH got a 63% premium on the 20 day average. If you apply that to NOT on a similar deal we would get approx $2.69 to $3.00 a share. Maybe my math is wrong but I would be p'd off with that deal.
