Aubrey and company can only rely upon themselves to move this project forward. They have a strategy, and a goal of bringing this mine to development. I expect PDAC is an important part of that strategy. If somebody wants to come along and disrupt that strategy with an offer...i'm pretty OK with that! :)

If Aubrey and team did nothing and sat back waiting for a buyout, they shift the balance of the power to potential acquirers.
