Personally I do not think any deal is in the works. Such deals only take place either if you make a lot of money on it, or you are desperate.

Why would you as the management of one company let yourself be taken over, you would at least want a pretty good parachute. Also I think the pride and hopes are too high to give up on something potentially hugh. As long as we are talking about mines in the half a million ounces and down, the big guys are not too interested.

I don't think any of the companies are in a desperate position, they all have funding and can continue exploring. So no reason to change.

If you look at the history of the region, there have been many small mines and I think that is what the exploration results also suggest for us. Of course we could hit the big one, only future will tell.
