spWatching this thing unfold over the past few years has shown it to be a poster child for the way dodgy mines and companies screw investors. It is clear that the grade they have is nowhere near what they expected, or rather hoped for. They have strung the investors along with sweet talk about higher production, lower costs, paying dividends, temporary operating issues, etc etc. All this smoke was blown at us to hide the fact that they really don't have much of a mine, ie no high grade reserves, and the lack of investor interest south of the border proves it. Ninety percent of shares are traded by US shareholders. I expect they have enough profit and nouse that they have been dumpiing this name in favour of better. Our only hope is that this will stop at year-end, and that gold will continue to rise. The Brewery Creek deal is imho a bad deal ultimately. I don't expect there is enough ore there at a high enough grade to make a mine.Whatever VGCX says can't be trusted, based on previous experience. The effect of the tax offset means better cash flow, but the reported profit will be reduced by the loss carried forward. Unless VGCX pays us a dividend, which is extremely unlikely, the lower profit will give us a lower share price, end of story.. Possibly they might reduce the debt more than otherwise, but it won't be enough to make any difference to investors. Let's not forget that the tax offset was paid for with today's dollars, mostly, so if there is no mine then what has been achieved? Nothing. VGCX will spend millions on the site and then quietly shelve it. Meanwhile what about Banyan? They love to proclaim the six million ounce resource, but how economical is it going to be to mine it? If I made one mistake here, and it's a stupid rookie mistake, it is that I put too much money on this name and not enough on others. Sad...GLTA WAGTNI (we are going to need it)
