It's not really any fun to mock Canadian hockey fans....passive non-aggressive behavior on their part sucks all the enjoyment out of it. I still haven't made it over to GBG HQ, but I did spend most of the evening with some well connected mining guys in Vancouver. People here know GBG fairly well, they know Hollister is a really solid project, and Vancouver is a small town when it comes to trade news, but nobody knew about the Hollister auction. The only word that comes to mind when I told them the terms was absolute incredulity. I'm starting to suspect the marketing was not as robust as advertised. So everyone was fully aware of the sale, but they all seemed to have the impression there was 50 bidders, and so they figured what was the point of spending the time. I think maybe the IB dropped the ball at some point along the line....like when they knew they didn't have many earnest bidders and should have done some followup to encourage interested parties back to the table. It's a little bit stinky. I was going back over the docket tonight....has a sale confirmation order been entered yet? I'm not seeing one.
