RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Updated FS"It would seem the mine costs are higher for reasons other than inflation (or img - it should have been revised prior!). Construction materials are lower today than a year ago - in my world anyway."
People costs are outta sight. Material costs are similarly insane, particularly anything related to a hydrocarbon. Which pretty well means anything. The costs of all the infrastructure have soared - not CPI-style inflation, but 30-50%.
"You have a financing where it appears that some houses could only fill 20% of the demand. what the helll does that say about the pricing? Scotia was closed the day of the halt. cibc said to call during working hours and was closed the next morning when i checked. Was it purposely sold down...sure looks like it."
Bought deals are usually sold out and then some before the deal is even announced. That's why they're bought. As to the pricing, I can't help but agree with you, but I'm down approximately $5 million on this holding. But there's no way they could have waited, and Manson knows that; it would have meant drawing on the Sprott facility, which would either create the mother of all overhangs as they embarked irrevocably on the path to production (constructing hard assets) or given the project and the company to Sprott if they got to the point where the $$ taps went dry and they had no way to raise more.
If it sounds like I think there was noting that could ever have been done, NONONO. The market was there in the winter to do a big financing around the $2.75 mark; the only way that press release where MOZ basically said to throw out the FS made any sense would be if they were positioning themselves for a raise. A deal either didn't materialize (which would very likely have been a pricing issue) or did and got turned down (ditto). Bet they'd like to wind the clock back on that decision.
"The warrants are just truly insulting to any long time holder - especially in light of the demand. To me it adds incredible resisitence....I would have loved to buy 50-100K of this offering and sold the stock."
You wildly overestimate the pricing power an issuer trading for $1.25 a share has when doing a significant raise. MOZ had reverted to being a penny stock, and they don't do sh!t without a warrant sweetener, even if the deal is free trading paper.
As to your last comment, a retail investor, particularly one swinging a line of 50-100K (that would be a small investor), has about as much chance of getting a fill on a bought deal that's NOT in trouble as I do of getting the Niagara River to flow backwards.
Sorry all. I felt the need to rant.
