I agree, for what its worth. I am looking for companies that will be around for the long term so that I can best use my time enjoying the things I always whated to do. Thus whatever it takes for this company to remain independent and continue to prove up the resources to result in a long term continusous return of investment capital. If they do sell off some of the projects they have, then I would like to see more NSR's. If that means folding into one of the Royalty Trust vehicles, then fine, so long as the return properly reflects what they have and will soon have (DE- Eagle One).

I believe they were looking to survive a lean period in the markets while still being able to contrinue on with proving up other properties with the revenue from Agnico-Eagle and still have money in the bank.

Hoping they are as sharp as RN at Noront.
