RE:RE:RE:RE:talked to the CFOFew comments: 1) re "... one of the banks had not sold any shares yet..." may be read in a negative light. From what I gather that bank is International Finance Corp. that continues to hold its 10.8 million share position. But more importantly, B&A Mineracao S.A. has 18.2 million shares - down only slightly from the 18.7 million back in March. Add this to the 22 million shares still held by insiders and you have almost 30% of the company held by those with a vested interest to see it succeed. 2) re back in April the company said it needed $40 million - well it raised $20.7 million (all U.S.$) last April in the share offering, another $18.2 million in August, and finally another $6.7 million in October - which would be more than enough. I assume the share offering does not count which would leave us $15.1 million short - relatively little in the scope of the whole picture. Keep in mind, as discussed earlier we should be able to get $270 - $290 U.S. per tonne SSP in 2015 as 2013/2014 were artificially depressed. 3) Finally, the mention of "strategic partners" is a relief as it would see the return of a fair value to the shares unlike the steal of a cheap buyout. Thanks Realreturns for your persistence. It looks like 2015 will be a good year. Merry Christmas to all. Greg
