JS73, I know this is a tough situation for everyone but imo unless you were desperate for money you would be crazy to sell under these circumstances.

Consider the following

1. Sept. 3 is still 3 weeks away and alot can happen in 3 weeks. Another bid still makes the most sense to me.

2. The price of gold has gotten hammered the past couple weeks. This would be a very bad time to sell gold stocks.

3. The situation in the US is not getting any better any time soon and most experts feel we're still in a very bullish gold market. Remember nothing goes straight up.

4. If with the worst case scenario and Kinross gets over 90% (won't happen), you're still better off waiting for the gold price to recover.

5. If Kinross gets 50-90% (likely) then to get the rest of the shareholders on board they are going to have to sweeten the bid.

6. The mining law may be revealed before Sept.3.

DO NOT TENDER YOUR SHARES AND DO NOT SELL YOUR SHARES BEFORE SEPT.3
