Russ, the Iamgold-Wheaton combination - is this a prelude to some serious West African junior gold consolidation? Iamgold-Wheaton may be near full value here, but certainly with the deal-making ability of Wheaton's mgt and their philosophy of trading paper for mining assets perhaps it might be time to take a look at other potential acquisition targets in Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso... I would expect that Resolute Mining of Australia might be a logical target. This Iamgold-Wheaton combination could be a catalyst for a series of West African deals amongst the juniors with interesting assets. Any thoughts? Thanks. b
