RE:RE:Monday Morning Quarterbackingsevencities...The CSI deal was signed in Sept. 2012. As far as I can tell, your first post was in August of this year - as you rightly say, criticizing the lack of a NI 43-101. But as others here have pointed out, Serrra Pelada did not collapse because it didn't have a 43-101, which in any case is nothing new; it collapsed because it encountered enormous unforeseen problems with flooding. Hence the title of my post.
Granted, I was wrong about Colossus, as were a lot of people, including Sandstorm management. I have no illusions that my ability to evaluate mining companies is better than Watson, Awram & Co. (If I did, I'd put all my gambling money straight into junior miners, rather than a streaming company.) Management has made mistakes, it comes with the territory. They also have some enormous successes. But IMO the only serious misjudgement they have made on the gold side is the Mongolian deal, and that was arguably more a disagreement with shareholders about risk tolerance than a mistake.
Except for that, what have we seen since CSI? Mutiny, Premier, Canadian Zinc and Columbus. All forward-looking, inexpensive NSRs. So it appears that they have already embarked on the more conservative approach that you are recommending. Maybe that was due to your flaming them in your emails to Denver, but I rather doubt it.
My point remains: Unless you have about a hundred times more stock than the rest of us on this board combined, b-tching to management after the fact is a pointless exercise, and it would be far better just to put your money where you have more confidence in management.
