seadogwest and deleuzeseadogwest: I believe your last post says it perfectly. You don't think that CRE and BNT are talking with each other? Of course they are. The entire Venture market is talking about Mineralfields. And every company out there is avoiding at all costs not doing a financing with Joe. BNT included. In fact, I am fairly certain that the 15 million that BNT said they were going to get for financing at .15 cents was renegged on by Joe just like he did to CDO. And that is why they are scrambling to find some other money.
The truth is that Joe was a fantastic money stream for a lot of companies trying to get a drill in the ground, but they were under the impression that Joe was then going to be on their side, not the enemy.
Companies only became aware in the last six months to a year of the huge pain to bear when Joe sells the entire financing plus the warrants too in some cases. Latest cases are Silver Spruce, Apella, Metanor, Golden Hope, Mountain Boy, Decade, Plato, BC Gold, Candorado. All of those CEOs would do it all over again with someone else if they could because they all can not believe their stock price has tumbled to these depths.
Of course, the irony is too that gold is at an all time high and their stock price is at an all time low. Imagine the CEO having to answer that question everyday from irate investors.
Finally, deleuze, are you Petroh? Because we have not seen him in a long time and you seem like you might be him.
