that would explain how patrick and the board all turned stupid at the same time. maybe someday correa, burt or someone highly placed will get really drunk at a party and spill the whole story of how all the major gold producers who can't replace their reserves turned their noses up at 20 million high-grade ounces.
btw, i finally got to hear the audio on tye burt's interview on bnn. now i think i liked it better without sound. when he started boasting about the high premium he was paying, i really wanted to go all hitler on him.
