RE: before they announce the next round of financsumeti. I can not answer that question as I am not a qualified, licensed advisor.
I believe, if a company has the right people behind it, with the desire and the money to "make a market" in their share price, then anything is possible in a tightly held stock. Any financing could likely take place at whatever price they wanted as long as they had investor's who agree with the terms.
Note: I am only guessing that a financing (1 or 2) will occur some time next year and one only needs to look at the latest financials to come to this conclusion. MTX has a lot of projects in the books and this will take money from someone.
