Value destruction

Mr. Derek White has overseen a very significant value destruction. 
Ascot shares seem to only ever go down, whereas gold prices have held up.
The move towards prodcution has been unacceptably slow (and the timetable keeps slipping), the dilution has been larger than acceptable, and the very complicated fancy financing deal with Sprott fell apart (because Sprott wanted it too - why really?)

I still do not see this hitting $2 unless somehow the masses see gold as the goto asset class. Right now the world is still rushing to the US$ which seems so stupid. The US is broke ...more

While I generally agree with your comments on people moving capital where they see fit what I think you're failing to acknowledge is that Derek and Co. provided a much quicker timeline to production when they joined the company 2017 and have missed several milestones since then and now we're all paying for that. The junior mining space only rewards company's that do exactly what they ...more

Mr. Market sure seems to not be impressed.
