You wanna believe the "boys" know what they are doing. If you look at the recent run up to 3, its part of a plan to elevate the price in advance of any take out offer, such that any offer is within a reasonable price target . Recall that Agnico, Goldcorp(3x), Kinross and others have all been to site over the last year. Also recognize that many of the confidentiality agreements signed by the above are getting ready to expire next month. They've all seen the data and they've all been underground. Still a lot of uncertainty regarding timelines, but one would have to say game on at this point.
