RE:eric sprott
actually ES picked up another 2.0 million shares as announced on march 11,2021..(is that the News Release you are referring to)... Previously to that date he owned 11,118,182 and now has 13,118,132 so it shows he was had already been invested and holding during the downturn and this just shows that he obviously believes in something good happening in the future.
Quite the vote of confidence i would say but one would think there must be a limit to his patience too!
as per Mar.11,2021 NR: Most of the proceeds came from a few large shareholders of the Company including Eric Sprott who has increased his position from 11,118,182 to 13,118,182 shares. The proceeds will be allocated for fast turn around ore purchases which are being provided at a daily rate of 120 tons.
