Glad to see Kinross shareholders chatting it up so hard.

Well I was present at the annual shareholders meeting today. Next to the good food and complimentary bar (with a fine selection of wines and liquor), the meeting was simple and not too in-depth. I was sorta hoping for a more in-depth look at the properties and operations but no such luck.

Kinross, with $330 million dollars in CASH, will now have the responsibility to take care of AMAX's half-billion dollar debt. By the time a good chunk of Amax's(now Kinross's) debt is paid down, Kinross (and Amax) will have $100 million cash. More importantly, Kinross will now have the large Fort Knox and Kubank (sp?) mines that have huge reserves and are long life properties.

I must admit, when looking at the financials this debt-take-on scenario isn't too great but with these properties now on hand, a production of 1.2 million ounces of gold a year will provide one hell of a cash flow to pay-off the remaining debt. Now if other exploration projects pan-out like Mirandor and Greystar, we will have one hell of a senior producer in the making!

CHEERS KINROSS!!!!
