There won't be any mergers other than San takeovers as properties are proven. Wynn Drilling is doing all the core drilling in the area other than Wildcat also. None of these companies is cashed up enough to do any major work. Until one of them finds a significant strike it will be business as usual for all of them. There are no other mills in the area. San Gold has the upper hand now unfortunately for the rest, except Wildcat who have the massive zinc property in Saskatchewan, and the Snow Lake lead,zinc, zinc, copper and platinum properties. To build new mills and get other mines producing independantly will be another 5- 10 years. It's time for some young blood to take over, lots of experienced people to guide them.
