From Wills stockwatch blog
Will Purcell is one knowledgeable guy in the business and I pulled out from his blog from yesterday these two paragraphs:
“Unfortunately, nary a knight of any hue rode to the rescue, so Stornoway has now confirmed a letter of intent with its main secured creditors, including the Quebec government's Diaquem Inc. and Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. (OR: $16.09), whereby they would acquire all Stornoway's assets, assume the company's debt owed to the secured creditors and cover the continuing costs of the mine. (They are still shelling out cash in anticipation of more Stornoway losses: The secured creditors have provided $20-million as a working capital facility, a sum they say may be increased at their option and their options appear to be few at this stage.)
The creditors will presumably seek a buyer for Renard, although they appear to be conceding that they will get back just pennies on the dollar -- the dollar amount being nearly $700-million in current and long-term liabilities. Stornoway carried the mine on its books at just under $500-million, barely half its value at the start of the year, but even that lowered valuation now appears overly optimistic.”
Now if Osisko bought Stornoway as some have surmised and maybe been mislead from news articles, why would the creditors be looking for a buyer?

This is not your "normal' LOI , quite a few things do not make sense here regarding the ownership/selling of the company, i really hope the proper channels looks a bit deeper into the ongoings and details of all these transactions.

Infirst, agree, but the Media keep referring this as Osisko BUYING SWY...not exactly the case.
