RE:Osisko Royalties-->Osisko Mining (Crazy) Financing TheoryNope, you're not crazy... I've had similar thoughts along these lines for awhile :
- Original OSK team got forced out of Malartic, which I honestly believed they wanted to bring online
- Basically the same team buys a few claims, finds Windfall, states they want to bring it online (ok, could just be marketing)
- OR team (some crossover between both companies) buys Barkerville, gets punished hard by the market, hands burned trying it directly that way
- So now so you have OSK with a great a project, OR with $$ but burned hands, but a reasonable possibility that they have a game-plan to block a hostile bid in some way in order to bring this to market
Ahh, BTR... the retarded child hidden in the attic... sure, they have a mill, but so what?
If OSK really wanted that mill, they could buy it now for a buck fifty & some chewing gum...
