Dumb DealThe fair value of Candente shares as debated before on this board is about $3 /share. The 22.2 million shs Fortesque wants to buy are worth about $67M (22.2 M X $3) and Fort wants to buy them for $4 million. That is 6% of their value or 6 cents per 1 dollar of stock.
Fortesque must think we are dumb or they may want to test our intellegence. They said $3 million of the private placement will be spent on drilling. Investors are always attracted by drilling, they think a big jackpot will be found. We already have a big jackpot with Billions and Billions of pounds of copper, a critical metal. If they do find another Canariaco DNT would be worth much more than $3. Other majors would be attracted and bidding for the company will start at $3 a share. Fortesque will likely drill where they are sure to find nothing. The offer to drill is BAIT that will only catch suckers.
I don't see why a white knight doesn't step up and offer to buy into Candente. Or why some big speculator doesn't start buying up Candente stock and give Fortesque a run for thjeir money.. I think shareholders would be appreciative of someone who gives them value rather than try to buy the company for pennies on the dollar.
Merry Christmas
