What Investors (SH's) really need to know is the quality of the discoveries. Mr D nor anyboby else can produce gold where it doesn't exist or JV with someone if it is too expensive to mine. However, he can keep interest in the company alive through two initiates. Either keep the assay results coming ,produce the N43-101 or start giving SH's monthly updates to at least give the perception he is trying to market the company & appease SH's.
He also MUST come up with a JV partner before the money runs out or get the SP up before EVG has to go to the markets to raise more cash & further dilution. My concern has always been WHY did AE walk away from EVG if the discoveries were economical & benificial to both parties. Mr D's strength is supposed to be deal making yet he could not (apparently) come to reasonable terms with AE. Now it just might be that AE was asking too much but maybe the exploration dollars required to find & extract the gold was just to expensive to keep on funding the exploration.
These are the questions & answers that SH's will no doubt never know. But obviously Grandich & others didn't like what they saw & got out before the big fall. Whatever, the reasons EVG is no longer a market darling nor is it on anyone must buy list (including insiders) for future profits. This destruction of SH value is unacceptable by any standards but SH's have no recourse because legally there is nothing to be done about it. We all knew going in that this was not an investment but a pure gamble. Seems we lost the gamble so it's either believe EVG can still become a player or fold your hand & take the tax loss & move on. I still think Mr D has something up his sleeve so I'll hang around because the tax loss will always be there in the future. Tax loss selling will start in earnest soon (hope EVG doesn't get hammered further) so I do not expect much from EVG management until the N/Year but who knows communication is non existant or at best SH's remain skeptical about what were are being told.
It seems to me there is more wrong than meets the eye but is it fixable? Whenever, there is money to be made reasonable management can usually find common ground to make it advantageous to JV parties yet non of the majors at this point in time seems interested in doing a deal (might be ongoing & not able to tell SH's yet) with EVG although gold is quite high the question still in my mind remains WHY IS THIS?
Feel free to enlighten SH's management. Everyone it seems is conflicted as to the viability or future of their investment & the Company.
BTW received an e mail from NVO IR which stated Q is still an advisor to EVG.
