Comment
This is transformational for the company in my opinion.
We have an experienced management team that have delivered significant shareholder value before with Yamana Gold, and other companies, putting in $10 million of their own money to the financing.
So new strong management, well financed, production and revenue just starting, and an exploration plan are all occurring together.
I think this is now an exciting stock to follow, with management’s money on the line I expect they are confident, and have done extensive due dilligence.
