Is it to late? Way back, when the Chief became a hot topic with Andover management (several management discussions were issued as far back as 08, 09) they repeatably stated that the Trixie was low hanging fruit and would be exploited easily and quickly. After all, the mill was like new and there was already mined material just siting there. A front end loader and a dump truck was all that was required.Years later, shareholders like myself are both worried and fed up. Missed opportunities and questions abound, mainly due to the lack of transparency about this mine. I really question whether it really is going ahead ( I'm sure I will here from some that it will) or if there are some problems that have not been disclosed. With such a lowsy market, investors are demanding earnings from mining companies. If the Trixie was in production, I doubt we would be trading in the 40 cent range and as goinfishen keeps stating, probably going lower.Of course, credit is due to the positives management has accomplished here. I just feel the Trixie WAS the key to getting the company on peoples radar and to surviving this melt down. I'm not so sure those investors that have fled this company will return with market sentiment soured with this company. Maybe the highly touted Red Chip will save the day???
