Spoke to them on  Friday... pitched my  idea, for  what  it's  worth.... My  point  being... " Never let  ego  cloud rational thought... Protect  investor  value via  minimizing  downside  risk, and with  upside  potential via consolidation"

The  whole  will be  worth more than the  sum of the  parts at this  time.... negotiations  with  the  majors from a stronger position..... Either they take the  whole  enchelada, or they  get  nothing..... Just  like  Voisey  bay.... The  last thing  you want is to  have  several  majors  devide   this  up..... Consolidation  forces them to  compete for the  whole, not pick up individual  pieces.

I would  clasify consolidation as an event  for  the  NOT  camp.... and  justify  an incremental  market cap increase in excess of the  total  market  cap of the  individual components.  A stratigic move!
