RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Something to consider regarding M&A voteNo arguments there. I don't think any of us were waiting on returning to $10 any time soon. However, bumping back up to say the 50 cent level was more than feasible. A few years ago we were in the 30 cent USD range or about triple what Hecla is proposing to pay us today.
Nothing has changed in the last three years, the least of which is the gold price which is still bumping around in the vicinity of $2k. Nothing has changed other than we now know that management has decided that they are willing to allow another party to take Rackla though the tote road permitting and subsequent milestones.
So, if management is very keen on entertaining offers, why did they jump at the first offer that had barely a whiff of being semi-legitimate? Dang! If I were a used car salesmen I'd hope that ATC management walked through my door since they'd bite on the first offer I threw at them!!
If the BoD needs help finding the word "negotiation" in the dictionary it is between the M & O sections! You'd think that they would be familiar with the term. But, we often times give others too much credit when no credit at all is deserved.
