RE:The interviewRuss was very uncomfortable. Can't believe he is being paid 2mm to lead the company and be a spokesman. The 7mm tgb gave to Curis and was then funneled back to HDI is coming back to roost. Russ does not seem to like the present scrutiny. The raiders have planty of ammunition. The concept of "independent director" is rediculous. You don't get nominated to be on a board unless you are known to be favorable to those in control of the company. Plus it is a good gig, great pay for very little time spent. Don't rock the boat or bite the hand that feeds you. All of the explanations that the independent directors made all of the decisions regarding Curis is not believable. Why would anyone buy Curis with the overhanging debt and no permits. The town hates the project. And housewives that are worried about the drinking water for their kids are not going to give up. Russ was on the board of Curis, Taseko, and HDI. No conflict? Taseko continues to dilute the stock as fast as they can. Can't wait for the next proxy statement to hear how many options have been granted. Their new tactic is to propose some very attainable goal(keep the company running), meet the goal, and then get a bonus. Also hire a compensation consultant to justify all of the pay arrangements of the officers and directors.
The consultant charges 25-40k just to compare other mining companies that are doing the same thing.
Not sure what rose colored glasses you are wearing.
