My Questions on Donner

[Thundersole]

Quote from press release: "Failure by Donner to meet its obligations under the development agreement will result in Glencore having the right to recoup any shortfall from Donner's portion of the proceeds of mine production."

With SND waiving any stream for 2013, what is Donner's proceeds of mine production, will they be able to just pay the difference upon receiving a letter from Glencore?

Quote from press release: "Should Donner's portion of the proceeds of mine production be insufficient to do so, Glencore may elect to buy the company's interest at fair market value or to forgive the amount owing and convert the company's interest in the Bracemac-McLeod mine to a 2-per-cent net smelter returns royalty, of which a 1-per-cent NSR royalty can be purchased by Glencore for $1-million."

What happen to the 3 million dollars they raised in the placement?  I take it that it is not enough to cover what is owed?  I thought I read somewhere that 4.5 million was required, does anyone on this board know for sure what is owed.

Is September 12th the drop dead date, being that is 30 days after announcement of default by DON, or was the announcement made days after the default and the drop dead date is earlier, does anyone know the drop dead date.

I am guessing it is all up to Glencore's response, will they stick hard to the contract or will they grant some grace period (maybe at some cost).

Has Glencore responded yet?

So Donner raised 3 million of the 4.3 million that was due to Glencore.  Why did SND participate in the placement presumably knowing that there was not going to be enough cash to pay the call. Does SND know that something is going to happen that would justify the placement, why would they particpate...

When Sandstorm participated it was weeks earlier. They probably thought that there was a good chance that Donner could get the remainder of the financing in place. it is now highly unlikely that Donner gets financing in place. I have a post earlier that describes how this scenario will play out fcr Sandstorm involving dilution, purchase of the stream of subsequent purchase by Glencore leaving

So what is the drop dead date for Donner to save itself, is it September 12th or is it an earlier date....
