You don't have to worry about that happening because if they are going to entertain a buyout it will be over $10.00 per share in my opinion. The technology and equipment that GPL now has access to is extending the mines life by allowing new veins to be accessible and economical. When I bought the options initially I was expecting $5.00+ on technicals alone. Now we're hearing buyout possibilities and waiting for the latest financials and NI 43 101. GPL has tons of upside and almost no downside right now from where I'm sitting... Of course, with options there is always the major risk they won't be in the money, that's why I'm buying them as far out time wise as possible.
