Response from Sandy Thank you for your support and reaching out, I am emailing you from my email address so you have it for future communications and more timely responses.
We understand your frustration, it has been a terrible market. I would point out that our share price has moved similarly with others in the copper sector. In regards to Paul’s selling earlier this year, it was done for tax planning and preparation for a large option exercise, he now owns more shares than he did at the beginning of the year. It was unfortunate timing but not in his control due to blackout periods; where he wasn’t able to move shares due to his knowledge of insider information.
Our market cap is always top of mind for us, we continue to push to bring new investors in and inform our shareholders of advancements. As you will recall, Rio Tinto is a strategic investor with ~8%, we are currently talking with them about what comes next. We should have an announcement soon, but until that time, I can’t really say anything more. Additionally we are moving forward with permitting and expect to submit the ESE Statement on Casino in the second half of 2024.
In the meantime, we remain very well financed, well positioned with strategic partners, with the largest Critical Minerals Mine in Canada.
Thanks,
Sandy
