RE:The ideal way to finance the acquisitionThat would probably be a good option. Or maybe a zinc streaming deal?
What worries me is the price action seen since trading resumed. Seems to me we often see similar trading in stocks just before a PP is announced - price declining followed by a PP at an "unreasonably" low price. Maybe at 20 cents with Palisades as a major participant?
Hopefully, I'm wrong. After all a lot of miners are selling at a discount nowadays. (I know: trust the management, they know what they're doing ;-)
