Turn down the insult of the RX deal,imo. Yes,then it's possible we could be acquired ,but NOT for 1.80 ,not even 2.80. I don't like the thought of a tax bill either but losing value in your investment is worse.
If we turn down the RX deal ,it opens us up to a big offer from HL or better, a merger with MGN or RVM.Your insider information will confirm that US Silver indeed has had talks with both these companies.Where they are ,is anyone's guess.
Another scenario is we need not be bought or merge.We are NOT in any financial problem.
HL needs new production(to replace Lucky Friday)
MGN needs some production(their Montanore is years away)
RVM needs to supplement Troy (it will never be as good as Galena)
These latter two are share deals,so no need to worry about taxes.
