IR is very responsive

The $7 dollars share placement was hurting someone real bad. We could be here a while longer if this opportunity suits them. As for the company and it's prospects; excellent from here on out.

I would say they are looking to raise at least $150 million just in case they do not meet gold wheaton's deadline and if they keep operating at losses. So whomever mentioned that a $200 million credit facility may be an option ...more

The caveat which impinged on the cash flow was time wasted waiting for the tailing ponds site approval. Time that MWS was not in production at capacity never actually happened. If you remember they were going to, at the end of March close the gold processing plant #2. An announcement that the construction phase for the ponds has begun would relieve most. They are not broke. The 50 million tops up ...more

Attorney,,,,,,,, "What about the potential 42 million dollar penalty to Gold Wheaton"I have been in the construction management business for over 30 years and as far as penalties are concerned it is a rarity to have them triggered as the mealy mouth small print and the force majeure issues contribute to extensions and all,,,,,,,plus the creditor knows when he can't get blood out of a ...more
