Kinross spokesman Steve Mitchell said in an interview yesterday that the investor response to the Aurelian offer has been "very positive."

While there has been vocal opposition from a group of retail investors, the market is assuming the bid will succeed.

hmm, i wonder who that could be? even when they cover this story, they refuse to mention our name. they keep trying to pretend agoracom doesn't exist, and that we don't count for anything. but if kinross doesn't get the shares they need, i think people will find out about us real soon.
