QUESTION...

I'm hoping someone can answer this for me, if a company like tgz has a certain about of cash in the bank and a certain amount of bullion sitting on the sidelines then why do they need to borrow 165million especially at 8 3/4 % to fund a new mind. I'm only asking a QUESTION cause I don't know the answer.
