Financing.
Financing.Just read through the posts and here is my take on the financing. First of all you need to separate this financing from Shafter. Other than the small bit of cash they will use for feasibiility purposes, it's primarily for La Negra. And yes it is indeed dilution, but that negative is worth it when we get an even higher impact in profitability. At the end of the day, share price should be based on profitability or a multiple on earnings per share. In my example below you can see the EPS that results from a 15% dilution of shares, but returns a 50% increase in profits. Now obviously reality is more complex, but I have simplified it so that the gist can be understood by all here:
At the end of the day the valuation increased 30% even though we had to initially dilute in order to achieve it. Looks worth it to me!

ps. Looks like an insider sold to take part in the financing.... I have no problem with that.
