USA - GLTA My view and opinion. Not investment advice. Do your own due diligence.
It is also important to note that your broker or other intermediary may have a deadline that falls before August 2, 2012. Therefore, it is imperative that you act immediately.
Voted against the RX Gold deal (many reasons). And as it stands now, I will vote against the Hecla deal (too little too late). In a few months from now, I will also vote to remove all US Silver Directors for being so incompetent ,useless and certainly selfserving.
Just a reminder for those voting against the RX Gold deal:
