I for one will never tender my shares until if and when I am forced to. For me this is not just about money but principal.

I have learned a lot during this process.

1. The management of ARU are completely incompetent, unethical and morally bankrupt. The first thing I'll do for future companies I invest in is to verify whether or not any of them are involved. If they are I will not invest a nickel.

2. The OSC hides behind form letters and are not advocates for the retail shareholders.

3. Banks, Brokerages, Analysts are morally bankrupt as well and were easily bought off by Kinross and here we thought they might even be advocates for their clients.

4. The media are morally bankrupt and were in the back pocket of Kinross from the beginning. Responsible journalism is a thing of the past. BNN is especially a joke and I will never look at them the same way again.

The only positive I can think of is that we can say goodbye to Anderson and his cronies once and for all. I'm pretty sure Burt knows that he is incompetent and would never offer him a position.

You can say what you want about Tye Burt but he is now the CEO of the company that stole the greatest gold find of the past 20 years for a mere pittance. At least he is working hard for his shareholders something that Mr.Anderson in his stupor and greed totally forgot about.
