Good morning,

I just called Kinross and spoke to a Mr. Erwyn Naidoo who is a VP incharge of investor relations. After I shared about the Sage/Puma deal and that Kinross now has an interest in the company and also that Mr. Gold of Kinross was now on the BOD of Sage, I asked him if Kinross would also issue a PR on the merger. He said no he did not think that they would do that. Apparantly it is not that big a deal to that giant in the indusry. IMO it is significant to us though. Well I figured I would give it a shot anyway.
