You are right @rivermore. It's really hard to predict how would how a T/O will play out. It is obviosu that there are many interested parties in the VIC gold fields atm. I can see some of the interested parties getting set for having a say in the outcome in a T/O situation. The accumulation and capping is being done by one of these parties IMO. It's very familiar for me. And yes if NML can make a major discovery during this time everything might be different for us. Fingers crossed.
Anything can happen at any time. That's' the reason I can't sell anything for trade or being free carried.
