Oh I'm very familiar with the Great Bear story; there have been several times in the past few years when I almost bought in, but there always seemed to be "something else" wanting my money more.
If Bristow wants to horn in on the deal, more power to him but he'll have one heck of a sell job to his BoD who remember all too the well the price Barrick paid the last time their eyes were bigger than their chequebook. The NR mentioned a termination fee to Kinross, of course, but didn't specify its size so add that to Mark's bar tab if he wants to drink a few Kinross Kordials at the Great Bear Bar & Grill.
And I have no doubt there will be "No!" votes from the GB Gallery, but there will also be a lot who will say "There's my 10-bag! Thank you, Kinross! NEXT!"
I've got plenty of popcorn ready to watch this show; it'll be a good one, if it comes to that.
