RE:CURIOUS WHAT THE BOARD THINKS2 or 3 years ago I saw an interview with Mr Beaty. He said in the gold business you gotta be nimble, read the tea leaves and know when it's time to get out. Interest rates are rising seriously for the first time since before the financial crisis. It may very well be that if they reach 8 or 9%, gold is finished and will revert to $450 an ounce like it was before the zero rates policy brought on by the financial crisis. Equinox could disappear in that case because its nothing but an effort by Mr Beaty to consolidate a lot of mines using his financing know how. But it all unravels at $450 gold as none of his mines are viable at that price. Only the most established and lowest cost miners will even survive
