I found this interesting....
"While the $1.5-billion offer from Goldcorp Inc. (G/TSX) for Gold Eagle Mines Ltd. (GEA/TSX) and Kinross Gold Corp.'s (K/TSX) $1.2-billion approach to Aurelian Resources Inc. (ARU/TSX) signal renewed M&A interest in both the Canadian mining and gold space,"
apparently our bid doesn't even qualify as an offer
it's merely an approach
hmmm
