Kinross can easily say "well we are looking into it but nothing official"..
As SRGE put it
Southridge and its advisers are currently working hand in hand with Kinross to finalize the remaining documents and agreements in order to execute this new joint partnership for its Cinco Minas and Gran Cabrera properties with Kinross. Due to the size and complexity of this transaction we expect to execute this joint partnership with Kinross by Mid-January.
Nothing official my friend. Just hopes and dreams at the moment.
