RE:RE:RE:Really now! - 5K @ .3775"Right now with all the volitility in the market one can suppose that credit or another streaming deal will most likely be expensive. Any thoughts?"
Expensive credit is better than no credit, and offering shares for peanuts is not a good option at least at these levels. To go from everything's fine, to working capital deficit and need to raise cash to fund operations, and shutting down production after stating that production will ramp up in Q2 has not inspired confidence among investors in the planning and management of this operation.
They've renegotiated the streaming silver more than once over the last 8 years or so to mutual benefit, and Wheaton has received incentives in the past in the form of stock. They still owe Wheaton a balance from the original $50MM USF agreement.
If they take this approach to obtain more funding from Wheaton the bargaining will certainly be harder, considering the recent developments. The hope for Wheaton would be that they would benefit from higher silver prices later, should the Ag market turn around.
