RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:The sellers of SGN can't read financial statements very wellHere is what I think
Roebuck left the company because the company could no longer afford his salary.
Drinkwater made good money, Mary and other pits were lower grade than expected and couldn't produce enough cashflow to pay the bills.
Look at production numbers after Drinkwater was depleted. Look only at Recoverable gold ounces placed on pad. They are terrible. To make up for the shortfall the company started shifting ore around on the leach pad to boost production.
The company had no money to explore so they needed financing. Hawley made the deal with Coral Reef.
Maybe after first drill results from Goldwedge some large shareholders though they would find lots of gold in next round of drill results? Brieger bought in June so maybe they did.
Scorpio retired the debt because they had to pay Waterton loan off with proceeds of Pinon sale to Gold Standard. They just sold their GSV shares and used the funds to pay Waterton, as they had no other choice.
Peter Hawley didn't deceive anyone. He sensed the company was in trouble and took appropriate action. At the time I warned that if the financing didn't occur, SGN would turn into another Metanor. And it has.
