Tickle1 I didn't like the RIC deal all that much at the time. And I don't know if they were the ideal candidate, but how many companies in Canada can pull off hard rock mining with a mine start up? With initial narrow veins? Not that many I don't think.
Obviously, by how long this has taken, starting up a mine is a lot more complicated than most people imagined. Certainly me.
And RIC, for being toast, had quite a bit of money in the till, which they had created through mining and then through financing. So they were useful in that regard.
On a positive note, if RIC was toast without the ISLAND project. Then if they are trading at 3 bucks, PAT should be good to go.
Ending up with 30 million shares and half a mine, is a pretty good deal. Now all we need is additional IR.
