"The offer expires on May 1, 2007 at 18:00 hours but because of the annual Russian May holidays which end on May 9, Mr. Dovgan and Mr. Sokolov have agreed to extend the delay until May 11, 2007 at 18:00 hours."
OK, means 11:00 a.m. Eastern

I just bought some, but the PR seems a bit ambiguous. Hoping for a little run, but they never say "cash" in the PR, so I'll keep an eye on it.

I'm playing it as a gamble only. I not only wouldn't recommend that others get in, I'd probably tell them specifically NOT to get in unless they can watch it closely and know that there's a big risk here.
Company seems to have a history of disappointing shareholders, and I can almost guarantee that I'll end up losing money on this, because that's what happens to me every time I try to play a stock that my gut tells me to avoid.

* AURC is worth 3.3 B$ Gold is $662/ounce, 5 million ounces is 3.3 billion dollars; with O/S 320 M shares, each share should be worth $10.
Great pick, PCola. AURC got my attention because I saw your post. Thanks.

I have something to say, but for fear of jinxing it, I'll wait a little while longer.

0.13 A PR expected early next week about the closing date of the deal.
From Ihub: 0.55 closing date is set: *** Posted by: joenatural In reply to: None Date:5/17/2007 3:56:15 PM Post #of 51139
Just spoke with Martin. Closing date of the deal is on or before May 30th and he's mad as hell about this rumor of a reverse split

It was not mentioned in this PR, but in earlier PR of mid april it was said "all cash offer", there is no indication pointing to a different structure of the deal now

In speaking with Martin this afternoon, he swore to me that he personally has never sold one share of stock to date. This was in response to me asking about dilution and of course only after he was finished cursing whoever started the R/S rumor. LOL. He stated that about 100 million shares had been issued in the past for services, etc. and that maybe some of those shares were being cashed in during the last couple of days, in addition to hundreds of daytraders who piled on and then split town. I didn't ask him what type of services he was referring to because that wasn't the reason for my call to begin with.
My opinion about Martin and the rest of AURC management ? I don't think these guys are nearly as educated as we are and no doubt this has been displayed by the way they've communicated with shareholders in the past. My take is their operations are very very real and they've simply never hooked up with anyone to give them proper guidance with respect to presenting their company in the proper light. Even though they're only selling the company for $185 million and no doubt the purchaser is probably very happy, I think these guys just wanted to sell the business, as they'll all make out very well whether or not they actually got fair value for their properties/operations, etc. I suspect the suitor will most likely do a much better job in getting gold out of the ground and to market. This most certainly applies to all aspects of their operations.
I was told that the company might be putting out a PR tomorrow addressing the R/S rumor and when I suggested a closing date PR with terms attached to end the speculation once and for all, he indicated that was in the cards as well.
Martin did talk about long-time loyal shareholders and how the company has been striving to make them happy. I'm sure he's most likely talking about 2C and others.

Okay, I didn't want to jinx it, and make it stop going up, but I doubled my position at .114 and just got out at .14 to pretty much break even. I know better than to get into stocks like this. I should trust my gut.. Glad to get out instead of holding a bag.
Good luck to any of you still in it though, it's just not my kind of play.
