no one is going to pay anymore than they have to. They will use any and all methods to minimize cost and increase profit...you know...responsibility to their shareholders. So, the only thing that will garner NOT investors a lovely ROI is for there to be competition for a perceived highly valuable property. It occurs to me that White Knights showing up for FWR or SPQ would have revealed the presence of those not yet ready to be known, as it would have possibly brought on the premature actions of other vested interests who would be competitors for more critical properties. As I see it much more was needed to be known for the big fish to lurk in shallow waters and now that more is known and that we are now light years ahead with gov't and infrastructure talks, we are very likely reaching the flashpoint where interested parties will have to decide to &^% or get off the pot. What we still don't know is how many sharks are in the water and how do they value ROF assets. You'd think that those connected with Cr. would be out of their "mines" with concern for how the ROF could upset the apple cart, but as yet, we don't know. What we do know is that we have two known entities with interest in the ROF as opposed to FWR and SPQ. Are they truly opponents or will they side together to divi up NOT? We won't know until there is an offer on the table and the BOD et al reveal where they stand.

We wait to see....it's as simple as that. Just my opinion.
