Neg. announcement...Was trading on Friday wishful thinking, now seemingly dashed, or is something far more positive on its way?
This announcement was expected and has been for some time. Thought that it would be renegotiated.....
......................................................... TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 29, 2014) - Brownstone Energy Inc.
