RE: RE: RE: disgusting pump I hear you, there are a lot of interesting facets, and bashers probably worse. Just to clarify, I have found your posts helpful. Though you must admit there are risks around commercialization, mining method, capex (there has to be), and I'm sure you can qualify these risks, but they're there. What worries me is that company/people seem desperate for a higher share price (doesn't lend itself to a position of strength). The company will need to raise money at some point, and I understand the need to market etc. But again, just smells like people are scambling for higher price, to lock in that price in a raise, and protect the going concern of the company (because who knows at this stage, it may not be commercial given what we know, and raising money at higher price gives you option value going fwd - this is how resource CEOs have to think, i have this huge embedded call option on this property, i really have no idea if it will work, but to improve the chances I need to mrk the heck out of this, raise money and hope for the best). That's why the TSX is getting crushed, mrk realizing these properties rarely play out, equity always gets diluted. In this mrk, you can probably buy this cheaper and closer to production down the road (better risk reward all around). And that is why everyone is scrambling for a higher share price - to avoid that from happening. No one is going to pay you for theoretical value (2007 is gone). Look at the returns of canadian hedge funds. If this was a slam dunk, why doesn't Aubrey get a group of investors together and take this private (plus raise the money to get this into production)? Then keep it private and earn your 35% IRR through the 20 year mine life.
