RE: down to 5 cents Well two scenarios here, one pesimistic and the other one (kind of) optimistic:
1) We already lost Mexico because of the deliverables were not completed (43-101 incomplete, 4 million dollar investment incomplete - even if they mentioned before that it was complete, a law suit can happen here, etc.). We go down to 2 cents and still have Nunavut. New financing at those levels (hell of dilution) or die....or go into sleeping mode until silver prices go over 40 and look for a takeover...
or
2) Plata (PAAS) has offered a really god deal to Robert and is looking for a deal to get Mexico really cheap, that's why shaking weak hands for all these months...the deal can be cash or, the worst case, an all paper deal where AUU shareholders get fractions of PAAS shares in exchange...in both cases Robert gets a seat on the board of Directors of PAAS, he already did something similar to Southern Andes shareholders, selling them to YEL for an all paper deal and securing himself a seat on the board of the merge company...
Anyways I think less than one month to know the end of this (horror) movie...
