MisledDunworking I hear your frustration. For what it is worth, here is my take on it.
They were never going to be in production ( maybe some earlier tollmilling ) until late 2023.
They announced a financing last Oct/ Nov that was ill fated from the start as a full prospectus offering. No junior mining co raising such a small amount of money would ever go down that path ( I mean never down that path ) Craziest thing I have ever seen in 40 years of investing in mining. The 5 month finance delay that ultimately never got done got them to here. Appears they are now doing a brokered deal with Echelon which raises a whole bunch of questions. No idea why they have not closed on this yet?
I suspect the $$$ delays have caused some delay in restart???? Pushing production into 2024 isn't a huge issue IMO.
While it appears to have created some doubters ( stock at .10 versus .20 last fall when they should have grabbed $9 M ) here is the silver lining. Junior markets have been pretty dismal and the opportunity here is very real. Led by Barrick team operationally strong the obvious weakness is Corp Finance, they could not do this any worse than they have and they are still alive. I would be a big buyer of the stock at 10 cents.Hoping for the best for all of us!
