EO has some big cahoones
Tough day for EO, but he had to expect that this was the BOD's only course of action. You gotta have some nerve/commitment to execute this type of action and it must be tough for him, who founded the company, took it public, and kept the lights on while building what is going to be an outstanding set of properties with good metrics for Ag recovery (and possibly Cu, based on Akasaba). I'm guessing the RE is going to be around 1.5M oz, and it is near surface, so some deep pocket miner is going to try to scoop it up on the cheap. We as shareholders can take the 15cent bid in the short term, which for many of us will be a double or triple, but I think there's a good chance of the following: we the people and Sprott lead a rejection of the low ball bid, BOD shakeup occurs while the SP wobbles between 7-9 cents, the $20M funding leaves escrow and there's dilution, SP drops to 6 (or maybe even 5 depending on POG, macro events). The $20M will fund a very agressive drill program and in 18 months that 1.5M oz goes to 3-4M oz. Now we're talking serious money and 6 cents a share goes to $1-2. To me, 15 cents now or $1 later? I can wait. Can you?

NP, for all your same reasons KL fits just as good for ES. Tony has some serious cash too. Also Metanor (ES controlled) is on the hunt for a good play too. They have interest in Nulligan.
