Reputation...Is it possible that Sentients reputation is not looked upon favourably in the
investment community? How long has Meridian/Ferrometals/Cancana been
looking for investment capital from other than Sentient without success? While
Sentient does have $3 bln, that's pretty much peanuts for investment co.'s in
today's environment. And of course they're headquartered in that bastion of
corporate and financial integrity... the Caymen Islands. Maybe potential
"partners" have taken a dim view of this whole project and noticed Sentient's
treatment of the minority shareholders... us! Is that why management is so
into its social services programs in Brazil, to bolster image? Is it possible that
the optics of getting involved with Sentient now is too much for some of the
big players that have been mentioned here in the past? Do they really want to
align with a company known to "withhold" resource details and "possibly" even
manipulate S/P to further their own interests? Food for thought...
All in my humble opinion of course... lol
