This is a smart move for the co. Now they should start making offers on other miners that are out of cash.

Thank you for the correction. I'm relieved that things aren't quite as bad as I had thought. My statement was based on my misreading the latest quarterly report. On closer inspection, I see that under "Consolidated Statements of Changes in Financial Conditon" a "Write-down on mineral properties" with a value of $16,796,000 is listed as part of the calculation for "Net change in non-cash working capital". However, this amount is listed as a credit, which I don't understand; perhaps you can explain this to me. Also, could you explain what "non-controlling interest" means in Miramar's financial statements. Hope I'm not being too much of a bother. Thanks very much. Bear
