LAKE SHORE GOLD CORP 6.25 PCT DEBS T.LSG.DB

minny poisen pill

LSG curbed exploration to maybe half a dozen drills from 30 drills? Expanding the resource was put on the back burner to simmer. The focus shines on mine development and mill expansion. After reading these blogs about possible takeover it becomes somewhat clear what the board may have accomplished.

LSG slowed the exploration spending. This keeps the resource from expanding. LSG  looks less attractive to mine hunters. The production grade was kept low to bring in just the right amount of cash to pay most of the bills. LSG took on debt as a smoke screen to ward off takeover sooters. Just maybe the board has a well thought out strategy?? If LSG was short of cash why did they not crank up the gold grade?? Say what they want about the low grade development...it is complete BS not too crank the high grade stopes for needed cash. LSG would not have to open many high grade work places to reach 4.5 gpt.  Cutting exploration spending and borrowing money may be a minny poison pill. It has worked so far. Keeping the stock price pinned under a dollar is outrageous.

Interesting theory , LSG mgmt. damaged themselves in the short run to make themselves look  better  in the long run. ??? You know you may very well be correct and they are a lot smarter than we gave them credit for.

WOW IS THAT SHREWD  MANAGEMENT ??????????? i KNOW IF WE GET BOUGHT OUT IT SHALL BE THE END OF THIS MGMT TEAM FOR BETTER OR WORSE ONLY THE DIRECTORS KNOW FOR SURE AND THEY ARE NOT TALKING

Im not banking on them being that smart....I just think the high grade isnt there, and expanding the mill is the only way to get the tonnage out of the ground to make having a low grade mine profitable.Time will tell, but I bet you dollars to donuts I am right and we will never see >

...never see impressive grade from this company, just large volume of lower grade ore.
