RE:RE:RE:This is a lame BOD
RE:RE:RE:This is a lame BOD I understand that the cost overrun was not planned for. That's a risk management issue. The $700k will help a little but we don't know when they will start seeing that money. From that perspective, curtailing operations to stop the burn was smart but I hope they resume sooner than later. Inventys got $90M CAD $68M USD). That will give them a huge avantage over CST. CST needs probably around the same amount to scale up in any meaningful and expedient way. It's time for the board and special committee to shine.

If that had not happened, they would have 2 million dollars more than what they have now. And they will soon be receiving about 700,000$ per year from Resolute and Serres Toundra. Not enough to run a profit, but that would very significantly reduce their cash burn rate.

Without details we are guessing. Maybe they waited too long (they knew they were running out of money a year ago) to look at options OR they have a bunch of good options and they need focus time. Who knows. We don't know how quickly the special committee is working, either. For all we know, we might get an answer in a month OR we have to wait for the annual - and special - general meeting in six months to vote on an outcome but in my view it shouldn't take 6 months. That's just burning time and allowing the competition to take the lead. Are they in this to win ir? Time will tell.
