This deal has Eric Sprott's fingerprints all over it.
Funk is VP/Explo for Viszla, in which Sprott has just gone "all-in"
Sprott wants to lock up every silver play he can get his hands on, through a variety of "stalking horses".
Unga will be kept around as the "bait" for a buyout by some bigger fish, but in the meantime get ready to be a Mexican silver play.
Depending on what happens with NAK's Pebble project, Unga could be pretty good "bait" for anybody wanting to get in on the next Alaska gold rush.
