I have followed this company for over three years. I took a position again when I learned that they were going to buy the Giant mine. IMO...management lost a major opportunity during the downturn in the juniors to put some of their cash to work They have a chance now to make up for past mistakes and I hope that they take the ball and run with it. They have a story to tell and they should start telling it. Northern Orion has Agua Rica and most people do not even know about it. I do not think that TKO will be successful but it is nice to get some news out. Giant news very soon and that should change the fundamentals of the Con mine considerably.

Miramar Mining Corporation - Van Sun says Miramar merger dispute heats up Miramar Mining Corporation MAE Shares issued 56,693,804 1999-10-21 close $0.97 Friday Oct 22 1999 The Vancouver Sun reports in its Friday edition that the war of words on the Miramar Mining merger is heating up. Reporter Bruce Constantineau says that former Miramar chief executive Walter Berukoff, who is also one of the company's biggest shareholders, says that shareholders should have a chance to consider a $113-million merger offer from Taseko Mines. Taseko chairman Robert Hunter proposed the merger last week in a letter to Miramar chairman Tony Petrina. The proposal values Miramar shares at $2 each, compared with Thursday's closing price of 97 cents. Mr. Berukoff says that if Taseko is proposing that, then every shareholder should have the opportunity to look at it. He says that if there is anything in writing anywhere, then the shareholders should have the opportunity to look at it. He says that is the first rule of business. Miramar executive vice-president Stephen Quin says the company cannot comment on rumours or individual potential corporate transactions. He says, however, that Miramar is an attractive takeover candidate because it has more than $60-million in working capital.
