Congrats to Saturn4 for this excellent postPersonally, I don't think there is anything wrong with what Charles is doing... it may stink and seem unethical but it probably is not against the law. As CEO of NAG, Charles is not responsible for "marketing" in the sense of how marketing companies work. You can call it Charles "moonlighting" with Resolve since I'm assuming Resolve has the resources to be an actual marketing Company. He's a director with resolve, that's probably the extent of it. CEO's are directors of many organizations/businesses ... if Resolve is actually helping NAG market and saving money then what's the problem??
In these times of frustrations, everything that NAG does is looked through a magnifying glass. If NAG was flying high over a buck and momentum was with it and NAG had no delays with permits, roads, etc. etc. --- Would anyone care? Probably not, they'd probably commend Charles for saving NAG money on marketing and doing a good job.
Chill out folks, your wining and complaining is not helping the s/p ... its called being self destructive. Mine #3 is around the corner somewhere -- we all know that ... have patience, there is a lot of news coming up (we all know that) and coal is getting hotter and hotter.
Watch the pumpers and bashers (the extremes) come out when NAG is doing well ... My guess it that NAG will do well, that's why I'm still here. Its good for at least one more rise in s/p if not more ... If I had no hope, I would have (and most of you would have) sold and moved on ...
