RE: While there are always two.. "I am having some difficulty in seeing how giving up 70% of what webelieve could be a multi billion dollar gold discovery, for a mere 76million dollars is a good deal for we shareholders of EVG"
You give up the 70% when the market refuses to give it adequate value. EVG had to choose from perpetually diluting by going to the very market that has a problem valuing them, or turning to Agnico to carry them on a part of the project. I think EVG did the right thing considering their limited and unfavorable options.
