Only reasonable decision was to sell Magino
Now that everyone had a chance to review nreview the report, you realize this was the best scenario that could have materialized due to Magino being effectively a massive drain on resources, almost pushing Argonaut into bankruptcy. Hope is in FC as it seems to be outperforming and we should get a new extended LOM plan including possibility of unlocking sulphide deposits which would keep FC operating for years to come, that's still up in the air but upcoming NI 43-101 will be telling. Magino has longer term potential although AGI purchased this primarily for mill capacity and tailings. You can't keep operating at $3,000+ while selling at $1,860. Management is working with flawed feasibility study with subpar grades and underperforming equipment, which is strange as I remember hearing Young say that Ausenco built a Cadillac. Magino should come around by year end but it will never become a sub $1,000 AISC operation as originally planned

There were offers Alamos came with the best bid and allows for upside by integrating Magino into operations and providing some ownership of the best midtier producer Be happy with what you got as it could have turned much much worse for everyone involved

There was no mention of Mexican operations only Florida Canyon. Or did I miss it. It will be interesting to see what Spinco lists for when it starts trading. $0.06 seems low.
